FlowSIM – new innovative electrical and thermal simulation method for power modules in inverter applications.
The goal of the flowSIM simulation project is to run electrical and thermal simulations of power modules simultaneously. An electrical simulation part yields excitation current and voltage time waveforms for the specific power module components taking part in the power conversion process. Basic topologies and parameters of the application can be defined by the user. The electrical simulator part works on ideal components, where excitation waveforms are numerically calculated. The result of the electrical simulation section is fed into a loss calculation part that gives the excitation for a thermal simulation part. The components are characterized prior to the thermal simulation. Main properties of the components are described by the static and thermal characteristics and by the switching characteristics for devices that are working in switching mode. The thermal simulation uses the dynamic thermal characteristics to predict the semiconductor component temperature as a function of time during a period of excitation.
