Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of power electronic device parameter design, and in particular to a Si / SiC hybrid device driving voltage parameter design method and a computer medium that comprehensively considers current stress and device loss. Background Art

[0002] Si / SiC hybrid devices are composed of SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT in parallel. Si / SiC hybrid devices not only have the characteristics of large current capacity of Si-based devices, but also have the advantages of low on-resistance and high switching speed of SiC-based devices. In addition, their power level coverage is wide, which can meet the capacity requirements in different application scenarios. Considering the cost-effectiveness of the device, hybrid devices generally use Si IGBT with a larger current level and SiC MOSFET with a smaller current level. When Si / SiC hybrid devices work under large load conditions and use the switching timing of SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT to turn on and off at the same time, it may cause the current peak value flowing through SiC MOSFET during the turn-on process to exceed the maximum pulse current value it can withstand, and the current peak value flowing through Si IGBT during the turn-off process to exceed the maximum pulse current value it can withstand, thereby threatening the reliable operation of the converter.

[0003] Existing research shows that the positive driving voltage of MOSFET and IGBT in hybrid devices can affect their turn-on current, voltage trajectory and on-resistance. At the same time, since the switching speed of MOSFET is greater than that of IGBT, the turn-on current peak of SiC MOSFET, turn-on loss of hybrid devices and conduction loss are closely related to the positive driving voltage of MOSFET and IGBT (turn-on refers to the instantaneous state of turn-on, and conduction refers to the state of stable operation of the device after turn-on is completed); similarly, adjusting the negative driving voltage of MOSFET and IGBT can change the turn-off process of the hybrid device, thereby affecting the turn-off current peak of Si IGBT and the turn-off loss of the hybrid device. By adjusting the driving voltage of MOSFET and IGBT, the current peak of the device switching process can be effectively reduced, but it will also cause an increase in the overall loss of the hybrid device.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to solve the technical problem of how to design the driving voltage parameters of Si / SiC hybrid devices that comprehensively consider current stress and device loss. Summary of the invention

[0080] A preferred embodiment of the present invention further provides a computer medium, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program for implementing the method of the present invention.

[0081] Verification part:

[0082] Based on the double pulse test platform, the current stress and loss of the traditional driving voltage mode (mode 1) and the driving voltage mode designed by the method of the present invention (mode 2) during the switching process are compared. The schematic diagrams of the two modes are shown in Figure 7 Among them, the traditional driving voltage mode generally uses 15V driving positive voltage to ensure the device is fully turned on and has good short-circuit characteristics, and -5V driving negative voltage is used to ensure reliable device shutdown.

[0083] The hybrid device composed of SiC MOSFET (C3M0075120D) and Si IGBT (IKW25T120) is used as the research object, with a load current of 80A. Figure 8 This is a comparison of the comprehensive performance of Si / SiC hybrid devices in two modes.

[0084] exist Figure 8 middle,I dmax_on is the MOSFET turn-on current peak, I cmax_off is the IGBT turn-off current peak value, E on , E cond and E off They are the turn-on, conduction and turn-off losses of the hybrid device, respectively.

[0085] Depend on Figure 8 It can be seen that compared with the traditional driving voltage mode, the driving voltage mode designed by the present invention reduces the peak value of the SiCMOSFET turn-on current by 13.12A, with a reduction rate of 26.2%; the peak value of the Si IGBT turn-off current decreases by 13.86A, with a reduction rate of 18.25%. It can be seen that the peak value of the MOSFET turn-on current and the peak value of the IGBT turn-off current are both reduced to below their safe operating current. In addition, the Si / SiC hybrid device has an overall reduction of 42.4% in terms of turn-on loss, an overall reduction of 29.75% in terms of turn-off loss, and an overall reduction of 14.84% in terms of conduction loss. Therefore, the driving mode designed by the method of the present invention can better achieve the efficiency optimization of the entire working range of the Si / SiC hybrid device while ensuring the reliable operation of the Si / SiC hybrid device.

[0086] The Si / SiC hybrid device driving voltage parameter design method of the present invention comprehensively considers current stress and device loss, obtains the SiC MOSFET turn-on current peak value and the turn-on loss and conduction loss of the hybrid device when SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT are arbitrarily combined with preset step scale values ​​within their respective driving positive voltage ranges; and also obtains the SiIGBT turn-off current peak value and the turn-off loss of the hybrid device when SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT are arbitrarily combined with preset step scale values ​​within their respective driving negative voltage ranges; and provides a data basis for the subsequent division of the optional range of driving voltages of SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT and the selection of driving voltages.

[0087] The driving positive voltage ranges of SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT are divided by the maximum tolerable pulse current value of SiC MOSFET, and the driving negative voltage ranges of SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT are divided by the maximum tolerable pulse current value of Si IGBT, so that the method of the present invention fully considers the current stress, and selecting the driving voltage by the method of the present invention can avoid device overcurrent.

[0088] By selecting the driving voltage with the lowest loss within the divided driving positive voltage range and driving negative voltage range, the method of the present invention fully considers the device loss. By selecting the driving voltage within the divided driving voltage range, the device loss can be reduced as much as possible.

[0089] In summary, the method of the present invention can design the driving voltage parameters of the Si / SiC hybrid device by comprehensively considering the current stress and device loss, and has good practicality.
