Internal Structures

With the development of China’s electric power, power electronics devices such as insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) have been widely used in the field of high voltages and large currents. However, the currents in these power electronic devices are transient. For example, the uneven currents and internal chip currents overshoot, which may occur when turning on and off, and could have a great impact on the device. In order to study the reliability of these power electronics devices, this paper proposes a miniature printed circuit board (PCB) Rogowski coil that measures the current of these power electronics devices without changing their internal structures, which provides a reference for the subsequent reliability of their designs.

Further Development

Measurements of medium and high voltages in a power grid are normally performed with large and bulky voltage transformers or capacitive dividers. Besides installation problems, these devices operate in a relatively narrow frequency band, which limits their usability in modern systems that are saturated with power electronic devices. A sensor that can be installed directly on a wire and can operate without a galvanic connection to the ground may be used as an alternative voltage measurement device. This type of voltage sensor can complement current sensors installed on a wire, forming a complete power acquisition system. This paper presents such a sensor. Our sensor is built using two dielectric elements with different permeability coefficients. A finite element method simulation is used to estimate the parameters of a constructed sensor. Besides simulations, a laboratory model of a sensor was built and tested in a medium-voltage substation. Our results provide a proof of concept for the presented sensor. Some errors in voltage reconstruction have been traced to an oversimplified data acquisition and transmission system, which has to be improved during the further development of the sensor.

Multiphysics Simulations

Multiscale multiphysics simulations were performed to analyze wirebonds for power electronic devices. Modern power-electronic devices can be subjected to extreme electrical and thermal conditions. Fully coupled electro-thermo-mechanical simulations were performed utilizing CFDRC’s CFD-ACE+ multiphysics simulation software and scripting capabilities. Use of such integrated multiscale multiphysics simulation and design tools in the design process can cut cost, shorten product development cycle time, and result in optimal designs. The parametrically designed multiscale multiphysics simulations performed allowed for a streamlined parametric analysis of the electrical, thermal, and mechanical effects on the wirebond geometry, bonding sites and power electronic device geometry. Multiscale analysis allowed for full device thermo-mechanical analysis as well as detailed analysis of wirebond structures. The multiscale simulations were parametrically scripted allowing for parametric simulations of the device and wirebond geometry as well as all other simulation variables. Analysis of heat dissipation from heat generated in the power-electronic device and through Joule heating were analyzed. The multiphysics analysis allowed for investigation of the location and magnitude of stress concentrations in the wirebond and device. These stress concentrations are not only investigated for the deformed wirebond itself, but additionally at the wirebond bonding sites and contacts. Changes in the wirebond geometry and bonding geometry, easily changed through the parametrically designed simulation scripts, allows for investigation of various wirebond geometries and operating conditions.
