Abstract:
This paper presents a reliability-optimized space vector modulation (SVM) method for controlling a three phase power converter while reducing the damage on semiconductor switches. Simulation results on IGBTs and SiC MOSFETs switches demonstrate that the thermal stress is significantly alleviated, leading to improved power device lifetime and overall system reliability.
