For the power electronics devices with the insulated gate bipolar transistors, the thermal management is very important and necessary for the devices reliability. In this paper, power losses of the inverter were evaluated based on its electro-thermal model and control logic. Accordingly, its thermal management system using forced air cooling is designed and simulated. The transient temperature filed simulation results showed that the thermal management system is feasible and can guarantee the working temperature of the inverter. Experimental results were also obtained to verify the simulation results in this paper.

The Li-ion battery is of paramount importance to electric vehicles (EVs). Propelled by the rapid growth of the EV industry, the performance of the battery is continuously improving. However, Li-ion batteries are susceptible to the working temperature and only obtain the optimal performance within an acceptable temperature range. Therefore, a battery thermal management system (BTMS) is required to ensure EVs’ safe operation. There are various basic methods for BTMS, including forced-air cooling, liquid cooling, phase change material (PCM), heat pipe (HP), thermoelectric cooling (TEC), etc. Every method has its unique application condition and characteristic. Furthermore, based on basic BTMS, more hybrid cooling methods adopting different basic methods are being designed to meet EVs’ requirements. In this work, the hybrid BTMS, as a more reliable and environmentally friendly method for the EVs, will be compared with basic BTMS to reveal its advantages and potential. By analyzing its cost, efficiency and other aspects, the evaluation criterion and design suggestions are put forward to guide the future development of BTMS.
