This paper proposes a method for the identification of the electrical and thermal model of low power voltage source converters (VSCs) under nominal operating conditions. The identified model of the insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and heat-sink thermal resistance can then be used with existing power loss estimation methods. Only steady state measurements are performed on the assembled converter, without the need of a complicated test bench. The method is validated with three two-level three-phase VSCs in two test locations. Estimated power loss with the obtained model using recorded load current and one transistor command signal is compared with calorimetric measurements with good results.

Abstract

This paper proposes a method for the identification of the electrical and thermal model of low power voltage source converters (VSCs) under nominal operating conditions. The identified model of the insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and heat-sink thermal resistance can then be used with existing power loss estimation methods. Only steady state measurements are performed on the assembled converter, without the need of a complicated test bench. The method is validated with three two-level three-phase VSCs in two test locations. Estimated power loss with the obtained model using recorded load current and one transistor command signal is compared with calorimetric measurements with good results.
