| Abstract |
This paper focuses on the prediction and the study of the veracity of a losses model (both conductionand switching losses) in IGBT power modules used for electric vehicle applications. This articleshows a test case based on an experimental estimation of losses with a double pulse test circuit and acircuit model based on the use of ANSYS solver Circuit - Simplorer©. This modeling is onlygrounded in the knowledge of the characteristics of the modules from datasheets. Then, it is comparedwith experimental measurements. The veracity of these models is evaluated, the errors are quantifiedand if necessary, additional characterizations that will be performed to complete the data fromdatasheets will be identified. An estimation of the losses with sufficient accuracy will be obtained. |
