Abstract:
Simulation Models are experimental evaluated for conduction and switching losses parameters in order to support proper power converter losses estimation. Firstly, Spice–models are used and experimental validated by proper double-pulse test. Based on correlated experimental and simulation losses parameters, the power converter semiconductor losses can be mapped based on power converter operation points. For this approach 1200 V SiC power devices are used as reference for analysis. The experimental results verify high–accuracy of power losses estimation based on the proposed methodology.
