dc.description.abstract | Requirements for electric vehicle (EV) propulsion systems—i.e., power density, switching
frequency and cost—are becoming more stringent, while high reliability also needs to be ensured
to maximize a vehicle’s life-cycle. Thus, the incorporation of a thermal management strategy is
convenient, as most power inverter failure mechanisms are related to excessive semiconductor
junction temperatures. This paper proposes a novel thermal management strategy which smartly
varies the switching frequency to keep the semiconductors’ junction temperatures low enough and
consequently extend the EV life-cycle. Thanks to the proposal, the drivetrain can operate safely
at maximum attainable performance limits. The proposal is validated through simulation in an
advanced digital platform, considering a 75-kW in-wheel Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous
Machine (IPMSM) drive fed by an automotive Silicon Carbide (SiC) power converter. | en |
