The aim of this paper is to show and discuss results of 3D finite-element simulations for thermal management design with tight constraints taking care of reliability aspects of hybrid power converters. A procedure to obtain simplified but accurate device models has been shown together with experimental validation. The simplified models have been used for converter module modeling. The same procedure has been applied to analyze the thermo-fluid dynamic problem of a whole converter comprising of three modules, inner air and enclosure.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show and discuss results of 3D finite-element simulations for thermal management design with tight constraints taking care of reliability aspects of hybrid power converters. A procedure to obtain simplified but accurate device models has been shown together with experimental validation. The simplified models have been used for converter module modeling. The same procedure has been applied to analyze the thermo-fluid dynamic problem of a whole converter comprising of three modules, inner air and enclosure.
