[0018] The embodiment of the present invention solves the technical problem of how to improve the estimation accuracy of the IGBT junction temperature by providing an IGBT junction temperature estimation method and device.

[0019] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] The physical structure of IGBT is generally composed of packaging structures such as copper plate, solder layer, liner and substrate. Its basic physical characteristics can be equivalent to the electrical model of resistor and capacitor in parallel. In the embodiment of the present invention, a fourth-order RC parallel network is used to perform electrical modeling on the physical structure of IGBT, and the following is obtained: Figure 1 The equivalent fourth-order RC network of the IGBT shown in the figure replaces the physical structures such as the copper plate, solder layer, liner and substrate. , , , is the resistance, , , , The output power P of the IGBT in the electrical system is added to both ends of the equivalent fourth-order RC network. Figure 1 middle is the theoretical equivalent junction temperature of IGBT, , , , The nodes are first-order RC network nodes, second-order RC network nodes, third-order RC network nodes, and fourth-order RC network nodes. , , , They are the equivalent temperatures of the first-order RC network node, the second-order RC network node, the third-order RC network node, and the fourth-order RC network node. Since the physical structure corresponding to the fourth-order RC network node is in contact with the environment, the equivalent temperature of the fourth-order RC network node is the equivalent ambient temperature of the IGBT. , The initial value is generally 25°C.

[0021] According to Kirchhoff's first law, we can get Figure 1 Mathematical differential model of equivalent fourth-order RC network: ; Where t is time; By time discretizing the mathematical differential model at the current time N, we can obtain the discrete equation: ; In the formula, They are respectively the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the current moment N and the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the N-1th moment; , are the equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the Nth moment and the equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the N-1th moment respectively; , are the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the Nth moment and the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-1th moment respectively; , are the equivalent temperature of the third-order RC network node at the Nth moment and the equivalent temperature of the third-order RC network node at the N-1th moment respectively; is the IGBT output power at the N-1th moment, which is calculated from the voltage and current flowing through the collector and emitter of the IGBT at the N-1th moment; is the sampling time interval.

[0022] Theoretical equivalent junction temperature , equivalent temperature, equivalent ambient temperature The unit is ℃, IGBT output power The unit is W, the sampling time interval The unit is s. , , , , , , , Both can be obtained from the IGBT data sheet.

[0023] The discretized equation can be deduced into a difference equation: ; In the formula, is the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the N-2th moment; , are the equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the N-2th moment and the equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the N-3th moment respectively; , , They are the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-2th moment, the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-3th moment, and the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-4th moment; , They are the equivalent temperature of the third-order RC network node at the N-3th moment and the equivalent temperature of the third-order RC network node at the N-4th moment, respectively.

[0024] Based on the above difference equation, we can get Figure 2 The IGBT junction temperature estimation method shown includes: Step S1, obtaining the actual ambient temperature of the IGBT in history, the equivalent temperature of each RC network node in the equivalent fourth-order RC network of the IGBT, the theoretical equivalent junction temperature of the IGBT and the output power of the IGBT; Step S2, determining an equivalent ambient temperature based on the actual ambient temperature in history; Step S3, determining the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the current moment according to the equivalent ambient temperature, the historical equivalent temperature, the theoretical equivalent junction temperature and the output power; Step S4, determining the actual equivalent junction temperature of the IGBT at the current moment according to the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the current moment.

[0025] In step S1, the historical equivalent temperature includes the equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the N-3th moment and the equivalent temperature at the N-2th moment , the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-4th moment and the equivalent temperature at the N-3th moment , the equivalent temperature of the third-order RC network node at the N-4th moment ; The historical theoretical equivalent junction temperature includes the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the N-2th moment and the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the N-1th moment ; The historical output power includes the output power at the N-1th moment .

[0026] It should be noted that the actual ambient temperature, equivalent temperature, theoretical equivalent junction temperature, and output power in history can all be considered known and can be assigned initial values.

[0027] Assume that the actual ambient temperature of the IGBT is T. In some embodiments, the actual ambient temperature in history may include the actual ambient temperature at the N-4th moment. , N is the current moment; step S2 may include: the actual ambient temperature at the N-4th moment As the equivalent ambient temperature . Then the above difference equation becomes: ; Step S3 can calculate the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the current moment according to the above differential equation The specific process is: the actual ambient temperature at the N-4th moment , the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-4th moment and the equivalent temperature of the third-order RC network node at the N-4th moment Substituting the formula into the difference equation Calculate the equivalent temperature of the third-order RC network node at the N-3th moment ; The equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the N-3th moment , the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-3th moment and the equivalent temperature of the third-order RC network node at the N-3th moment Substituting the formula into the difference equation Calculate the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-2th moment ; The theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the N-2th moment is , the equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the N-2th moment and the equivalent temperature of the second-order RC network node at the N-2th moment Substituting the formula into the difference equation Calculate the equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the N-1th moment ; The output power at the N-1th moment , Theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the N-1th moment and the equivalent temperature of the first-order RC network node at the N-1th moment Substituting the formula into the difference equation Calculate the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the current moment .

[0028] In some embodiments, step S4 may include: converting the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the current moment into As the actual equivalent junction temperature at the current moment In this way, the junction temperature estimation of the IGBT is realized, and the actual ambient temperature of the IGBT is taken into consideration when estimating the junction temperature of the IGBT, which can improve the accuracy of the IGBT junction temperature estimation.

[0029] As mentioned above, step S2 can convert the actual ambient temperature at the N-4th moment into As the equivalent ambient temperature However, in the actual working environment of IGBT, the actual ambient temperature sometimes cannot represent the equivalent ambient temperature. In this case, the actual ambient temperature at the N-4th moment is As the equivalent ambient temperature To further improve the accuracy of IGBT junction temperature estimation, in some implementations, the historical actual ambient temperature may also include the actual ambient temperature at the N-5th moment, and step S2 may also include: Obtain the actual equivalent junction temperature at the N-5th and N-4th moments; The equivalent ambient temperature is determined according to the actual ambient temperature at the N-5th moment and the actual equivalent junction temperatures at the N-5th and N-4th moments.

[0030] It should be noted that the actual equivalent junction temperatures at the N-5th and N-4th moments can be considered known and can be assigned initial values.

[0031] In some embodiments, based on the actual ambient temperature at the N-5th moment The equivalent ambient temperature is determined by the actual equivalent junction temperature at the N-5th and N-4th moments. , which can include: According to the formula Determine the equivalent ambient temperature; where, is the actual ambient temperature at the N-5th moment, is the actual equivalent junction temperature at the N-4th moment, is the actual equivalent junction temperature at the N-5th moment, is the heat loss coefficient due to ambient temperature change and is a nonlinear function.

[0032] in, The actual is the change in the actual equivalent junction temperature in history, which is equivalent to correcting the actual ambient temperature at the N-5th moment according to the change in the actual equivalent junction temperature in history. .

[0033] As mentioned above, step S4 can calculate the theoretical equivalent junction temperature at the current moment. As the actual equivalent junction temperature at the current moment However, in the actual working environment of IGBT, there is a liquid cooling system that exchanges heat with IGBT to control the temperature of IGBT, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure. The increase of cooling water temperature in the liquid cooling system will cause the temperature of IGBT to decrease, that is, the actual equivalent junction temperature of IGBT should be lower than the theoretical equivalent junction temperature. The decrease of cooling water temperature will cause the temperature of IGBT to increase, that is, the actual equivalent junction temperature of IGBT should be higher than the theoretical equivalent junction temperature. Considered as the actual equivalent junction temperature of the IGBT , which will reduce the accuracy of IGBT junction temperature estimation. To further improve the accuracy of IGBT junction temperature estimation, in some implementations, step S4 may also include: Obtain the current IGBT output power and the flow rate of cooling water in the IGBT liquid cooling system; The actual equivalent junction temperature at the current moment is determined according to the theoretical equivalent junction temperature and output power at the current moment and the flow rate of cooling water.

[0034] In some implementations, determining the actual equivalent junction temperature at the current moment according to the theoretical equivalent junction temperature and output power at the current moment, and the flow rate of cooling water may include: Determine the actual equivalent junction temperature at the current moment according to the preset relationship between the actual equivalent junction temperature and the theoretical equivalent junction temperature, the output power, and the flow rate of the cooling water; In the preset relationship, the actual equivalent junction temperature is positively correlated with the theoretical equivalent junction temperature, negatively correlated with the output power, and positively correlated with the flow rate of the cooling water.

[0035] In some implementations, the preset relationship may be: ;in, is the actual equivalent junction temperature at the current moment, is the IGBT output power at the current moment, is the cooling water flow rate, is the density of cooling water, is the specific heat capacity of cooling water, is the temperature change heat loss coefficient of cooling water. In some embodiments, The value range of can be 0.6~0.9. In the formula, It is equivalent to the temperature change of cooling water. When the temperature of cooling water increases, the temperature change is positive, and when the temperature of cooling water decreases, the temperature change is negative. Therefore, the temperature change of cooling water in the liquid cooling system is taken into account when estimating the junction temperature of IGBT, which improves the estimation accuracy of the junction temperature of IGBT.
