High-Fidelity Liquid-cooling Thermal Modeling of a WBG-based Bidirectional DC-DC Converter for Electric Drivetrains

Book Contribution - Book Chapter Conference Contribution

The advent of Wide-Bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, e.g., Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN), power electronics E-drive converters are projected to obtain an increase in power density as ∼2x for SiC devices and ~4x for GaN devices, which demand detailed thermal modeling and analysis of power semiconductors and cooling systems. This paper has proposed high-fidelity (HiFi) modeling of bidirectional DC-DC converter coupled with liquid cooling system providing detailed information with higher accuracy and less complexity to determine performance during conceptual modeling in electric vehicle drivetrain with minimum testing and development effort.
