| Abstract |
This paper introduces an inverter lifetime prediction model which is able to estimate the inverter lifetime from a given mission profile. This model mainly consists of an inverter electrothermal model and an
IGBT fatigue damage model. Different damage accumulation methods are examined. A nonlinear accumulation
method shows the best fit to the experimental results, hence it is a much improved method for
accumulating the damage caused by the fatigue of IGBT modules. |
