Three Phase Inverter

A forced-air-cooled three-phase inverter built with SiC-JFETs and -SBDs as power semi-conductor devices was designed and fabricated. The inverter can operate steadily at a rated power of 10 kW in a junction temperature range up to 200°C. Output power density of more than 20 kW/L was achieved. The design specifications, the power module fabrication process, the results of a high-temperature operating test and a continuous switching test are described in turn.

This paper presents the influence of different pulse width modulation (PWM) methods on losses and thermal stresses in SiC power modules used in a three-phase inverter. The variation of PWM methods directly impacts instantaneous losses on these semiconductors, consequently resulting in junction temperature swing at the fundamental frequency of the converter’s output current. This thermal cycling can significantly reduce the lifetime of these components. In order to determine semiconductor losses, one needs to characterize SiC devices to calculate the instantaneous power. The characterization methodology of the devices, the calculation of instantaneous power and temperature of SiC dies, and the influence of the different PWM methods are presented. A 15-kVA inverter is built in order to obtain experimental results to confirm the characterization and loss calculation, and we show the best PWM methods to increase efficiency and reliability of the three-phase inverter for specific aircraft applications.

This paper focuses on how to define and integrate the system level and power module level with optimal conditions in SiC and Si-IGBT. To investigate the above situation, we compare the performance of SiC and Si-IGBT in power module and system level at different ambient temperatures. At the same maximum junction temperature 150°C and ambient temperature at 25°C and 80°C, it found that SiC type electrical resistance, maximum endurable current, and voltage could be better than the IGBT type power module above 20%. On the other hand, the simulation of three-phase inverter at different switching frequency such as 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz, 30kHz and it had been observed that the power loss of SiC inverter are 78% less for 10kHz switching frequency; 82% less for switching frequency at 15kHz; 85% less for 20kHz of switching frequency; 89% less for switching frequency at 30kHz in the Si-IGBT three-phase SPWM inverter at ambient temperature 80°C.

Abstract With the wide application of new energy and distributed generation system, high-performance inverter plays an important role as the key link of power system access. Its performance determines the quality of output power. Therefore, the output power quality control technology of three-phase inverter has become one of the important research directions in this field. This paper introduces the current main inverter power quality control methods, summarizes and compares the advantages and disadvantages of a single control method, and points out that the composite control method is the development trend of inverter output power quality control technology.
