[0002] Currently, there are four common methods for predicting IGBT junction temperature: contact sensor method, infrared thermal imaging method, thermal network method, and thermosensitive electrical parameter method. The contact sensor method uses a temperature sensor to directly contact the monitoring points inside the IGBT module. The infrared thermal imaging method is a non-contact optical measurement method that relies on infrared equipment to measure the monitoring points inside the specially treated IGBT module. The thermal network method constructs a thermal impedance network based on the equivalent heat dissipation method of the IGBT module's multi-layer material structure to estimate the junction temperature. The thermosensitive electrical parameter method derives the junction temperature by working backward from the relationship between the device's junction temperature and external electrical parameters. However, in practical applications, IGBT module manufacturers prefer to calculate the junction temperature of their IGBT products using an offline system.

[0039] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic device, including a computer program, which, when executed by the electronic device, implements the steps of the above-described method for predicting the junction temperature of an IGBT module based on an LSTM thermal neural network.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0041] A method for predicting IGBT module junction temperature based on an LSTM thermal neural network is proposed. This method constructs a DHT equation to characterize the unsteady-state heat transfer properties of multilayer materials, overcoming the problem of oversimplification of nonlinear heat transfer processes in traditional thermal network methods. This improves the model's adaptability to complex operating conditions. The DHT equation is transformed into dynamic constraints on LSTM network parameters, allowing the neural network to follow the physical laws of heat transfer during training. This avoids the overfitting risk of purely data-driven models. From physical modeling and data generation to physical-guided neural network training, a closed loop of physical law-guided and data-driven optimization is formed, significantly improving prediction accuracy. The dynamic extraction of thermal resistance / capacity subnets allows for adaptive adaptation to changes in material properties, making it applicable to different IGBT module models. This method addresses the poor generalization problem of traditional methods by utilizing the DHT equation to capture the physical laws of heat transfer and leveraging LSTM to handle temperature time-series dependence, overcoming the shortcomings of fixed parameters in traditional thermal network methods and the lack of physical constraints in deep learning. The advantages include achieving high-precision prediction of junction temperature under different operating conditions, balancing accuracy and generalization ability, meeting offline evaluation needs, and reducing reliance on invasive measurements.

[0042] Furthermore, the thermal resistance and heat capacity network structure of the DHT equation is clearly defined. Node connectivity is described using matrices, dynamically reflecting the changes in thermal resistance and heat capacity with material properties and boundary conditions. This overcomes the limitations of static parameters in traditional thermal network methods, accurately characterizing the nonlinear properties of unsteady-state heat transfer. The model can adapt to different material combinations and operating conditions, improving the modeling accuracy for complex heat transfer processes and providing a reliable physical basis for subsequent temperature calculations.

[0043] Furthermore, the process of generating datasets for FEM simulations is standardized, covering data from multiple monitoring points, multiple operating conditions, and high temporal resolution. By simulating complex scenarios in actual operation, comprehensive and realistic samples are provided for model training. The dataset includes complete temperature responses at key locations such as the chip and solder layer, preserving temporal details at high resolution to ensure that the LSTM can learn subtle temperature dynamics, thereby improving model training effectiveness and generalization ability.

[0044] Furthermore, through sub-neural networks R net and C net Dynamically extracting thermal resistance and heat capacity to form an enhanced feature vector input to the LSTM solves the problem of dynamic changes in thermal resistance and heat capacity under operating conditions. By fusing physical parameters with input features, the model's ability to capture heat transfer characteristics is enhanced. This avoids errors from manually setting thermal parameters, making the extraction of thermal resistance and heat capacity more consistent with actual operating conditions, and improving the relevance and accuracy of temperature prediction.

[0045] Furthermore, an LSTM layer output formula is defined, utilizing the temporal modeling capabilities of LSTM to process enhanced feature vectors. The LSTM gating mechanism is used to capture the short- and long-term dependencies of temperature changes, adapting to the time-cumulative effect of the heat transfer process. Compared to traditional time-series models, this more accurately depicts the dynamic evolution of temperature over time, making it particularly suitable for full-cycle temperature prediction of IGBT modules from startup to steady state.

[0046] Furthermore, the input features are directly correlated with thermal resistance and heat capacity, establishing a mapping relationship between input parameters and core thermal parameters. This gives the extraction of thermal resistance and heat capacity a clear physical orientation, improves the interpretability of thermal parameter extraction, avoids the black box problem of deep learning, ensures that the extracted thermal resistance and heat capacity conform to heat transfer logic, and provides reliable parameters for temperature calculation.

[0047] Furthermore, by mapping the target temperature through a fully connected layer and substituting it into the DHT equation to calculate the temperature at the next moment, the predictive power of the neural network and the constraints of the physical equation are combined to achieve dual verification of data-driven and physical laws. This leverages the rapid prediction advantage of LSTM while ensuring that the results conform to the heat transfer laws through the DHT equation, achieving high-precision real-time prediction and meeting the rapid response requirements in engineering.

[0048] Furthermore, the details of mapping the target temperature to the fully connected layer are supplemented, clarifying the adaptation relationship between the output and physical parameters. The high-dimensional features of the LSTM are transformed into directly computable temperature values ​​through the fully connected layer, ensuring that the output dimension matches the DHT equation. This eliminates the dimensionality difference between the features and the target temperature, improves the accuracy of temperature mapping, makes the model output more closely match the actual temperature range, and reduces conversion errors.

[0049] Furthermore, standardize the model training process, including data normalization, custom loss functions, and hyperparameter optimization. Improve input quality through data preprocessing, ensure the loss function considers both error and trend, and enhance model performance through hyperparameter optimization. Avoid the impact of data distribution differences on training, reduce prediction bias, quickly find the optimal parameter configuration, and ensure the model's stability and accuracy under different operating conditions.

[0050] It is understood that the beneficial effects of the second to sixth aspects mentioned above can be found in the relevant descriptions in the first aspect mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0051] In summary, the method of this invention integrates a physical heat transfer model with an LSTM network, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods such as intrusiveness and fixed parameters. It not only improves prediction accuracy but also reduces computational costs, thus possessing high practical value.

[0067] This invention provides a method for predicting IGBT module junction temperature based on an LSTM thermal neural network. Based on the structure and material properties of the IGBT module, the unsteady-state heat transfer characteristics of its internal multilayer materials are analyzed, and a Discrete Heat Transfer (DHT) equation is constructed. A training dataset is generated through finite element method (FEM) simulation. An LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model architecture is constructed, embedding the physical constraints of the heat transfer process into the network and transforming the DHT equation into dynamic constraints on the network parameters.

[0068] Please see Figure 3 This invention discloses a method for predicting the junction temperature of an IGBT module based on an LSTM thermal neural network, comprising the following steps:

[0069] S1. Analyze the unsteady-state heat transfer characteristics within the IGBT module and construct the DHT equation;

[0070] The DHT equations are used to represent the heat transfer relationships between nodes, and the node connections are described in matrix form to derive the formula for the node temperature at the next moment. The thermal resistance and heat capacity in the DHT equations can vary with the material properties and boundary conditions of the IGBT module. Therefore, the constructed DHT equations can dynamically reflect the nonlinear characteristics of the heat transfer process in the IGBT module.

[0071] Please see Figure 1 Based on the structure and material properties of the IGBT module, the DHT equation is constructed and represented as a thermal resistance-thermal capacity network. This network includes heat sources (power losses) P ( t )), thermal resistance ( R ij ( t )) and heat capacity (C ij ( t The system's state space is discretized, and the connection relationships between nodes are described in matrix form. Formulas for the node temperatures at the next time step are derived. This includes temperature monitoring points for each material layer, with each pair of thermal resistance and thermal capacity representing several material layers along the heat transfer path.

[0072] The heat transfer relationships between nodes in an IGBT module can be represented in matrix form, where the temperature change of each node can be described by the DHT equation:

[0073] (1)

[0074] Wherein, the DHT equation represents m+n The heat transfer relationship between nodes can be represented by a thermal resistance-thermal capacity network. T i ( t ) is a node i Temperature. Node i and j There is thermal resistance between them. R ij ( t ) and heat capacity C ij ( t ), which represents the heat transfer relationship between two nodes. T ij ( t () represents the temperature difference between two nodes. T a This refers to ambient temperature or coolant temperature. P i ( t ) is the node through which the flow passes. i Power loss, using matrix M To describe the connectivity of nodes.

[0075] S2. Generate a complete dataset based on FEM simulation to train the LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model;

[0076] A junction temperature prediction model based on an LSTM thermal neural network is constructed, comprising an input layer, an LSTM layer, and a fully connected layer. The input is the power loss of the IGBT module. P ( t The output is the junction temperature. T j ( tThis method gradually captures temporal dependency patterns in a sequence through memory units and gating mechanisms (input gate, forget gate, output gate). It obtains high-level features of long-range temporal correlations through information transfer and state updates between time steps. Fully connected layers concatenate features and output data. Time series features are gradually extracted through LSTM layers, and global high-level features are obtained by utilizing cell states and hidden states. Fully connected layers concatenate features and output data. Considering that the output feature information of thermal resistance curves is relatively small, three LSTM layers and one fully connected layer are used for training, thereby constructing an LSTM neural network thermal resistance prediction model.

[0077] Please see Figure 2 In ANSYS Fluent, an IGBT module FEM simulation was established, temperature monitoring points were set, and temperature response data under asynchronous power loss conditions were extracted.

[0078] In ANSYS Fluent, the material properties of the IGBT module were set, and the inlet temperature of the water-cooled heatsink was configured to 20°C. Temperature monitoring points were set at the center of the chip and the critical material layer to record temperature changes under different power loss conditions. The data sampling frequency was 1000 Hz, and the recording duration was 10 seconds, generating a training dataset containing 10,000 samples.

[0079] Please see Figure 3 The power loss of the junction temperature prediction model of the LSTM thermal neural network is calculated, with the connection relationship between nodes as the input signal and the IGBT junction temperature as the output.

[0080] The data is normalized, and the weighted average and standard deviation of each input variable at each time point are calculated using the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) and exponentially weighted moving standard deviation (EWMS) methods. These values ​​are then used as input features of the model. Thermal resistance and thermal capacity from the DHT equations are embedded into the physical layer of the LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model, forming an LSTM-DHT unit. This unit is trained in parallel through sub-neural networks, extracting thermal parameters from the input power loss and combining them with the connectivity of the thermal network to predict the temperature at the next time step. The forget gate, input gate, and output gate mechanisms of LSTM are used to accurately capture the temporal characteristics of the heat transfer process.

[0081] The process of generating a complete dataset based on FEM simulation and using it to train an LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model is as follows:

[0083] S202. Set up multiple temperature monitoring points in the FEM simulation. These monitoring points are distributed in key locations of the IGBT module, including the chip center, chip solder layer center, substrate solder layer center, and copper substrate center, etc., to obtain temperature response data at each key location.

[0085] S204. Acquire the temperature response curves of each temperature monitoring point. These curves are recorded with high time resolution (e.g., 1000Hz) and cover the complete temperature change process from the initial moment to the steady state.

[0086] S205. Integrate the temperature response data obtained under all operating conditions into a complete dataset. This dataset contains rich temperature information and can provide comprehensive and diverse data support for training the LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model.

[0087] S3. A physical layer is constructed within the neural network framework, dynamically extracting thermal resistance and heat capacity through sub-neural networks. Specifically, a physical layer is embedded in the LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model, containing two sub-neural networks that respectively map the relationship between input power loss and thermal resistance and heat capacity. After training, the extracted thermal resistance and heat capacity are substituted into the DHT equation to calculate the node temperature at the next time step. This combination utilizes prior physical knowledge and the nonlinear fitting capability of deep learning to improve the accuracy and generalization ability of temperature prediction.

[0088] The PyTorch deep learning framework was chosen, combining momentum optimization and the Adam optimizer with an adaptive learning rate. A loss function was defined, including mean squared error loss and first-order derivative difference loss, to minimize the difference between actual and predicted temperature values. The dataset was divided into training (70%), validation (15%), and test (15%) sets, and time-series cross-validation was employed to prevent time leakage bias. Bayesian optimization was used to optimize the hyperparameters (learning rate, batch size, number of hidden layer nodes, span) of the LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model, achieving fast and accurate optimization of the objective function.

[0098] Feature extraction from feature data is performed using an LSTM sub-network, and neural network training is conducted based on the extraction results, including:

[0099] S401. Perform feature extraction and normalization on the dataset generated by FEM simulation;

[0100] The specific process is as follows: feature extraction is performed on the temperature response data generated by FEM simulation to extract key features related to temperature changes, and these features are normalized to facilitate the training of the LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model.

[0101] S402. Define a loss function, including mean squared error loss and first derivative difference loss, to minimize the difference between the actual temperature value and the predicted value; by optimizing the loss function, the LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model can more accurately predict the junction temperature change of the IGBT module.

[0102] S403. Hyperparameters are tuned using time-series cross-validation and Bayesian optimization methods.

[0103] Time series cross-validation can effectively avoid time leakage problems in time series data, while Bayesian optimization methods can efficiently search for the optimal combination of hyperparameters, thereby improving the prediction performance of LSTM hot neural networks.

Model training is optimized using custom loss functions (including MSE loss and differential loss) to ensure that the LSTM thermal neural network can accurately capture the dynamic characteristics of temperature changes.

[0106] The mathematical expression for mapping the output of the LSTM layer to the target temperature using a fully connected layer is as follows:

[0107] (6)

[0108] Finally, the prediction results of the sub-neural network are substituted into the DHT equation, as shown in equation (1), to calculate the node temperature at the next time step.

[0109] In another embodiment of the present invention, an IGBT module junction temperature prediction system based on LSTM thermal neural network is provided. This system can be used to implement the above-mentioned IGBT module junction temperature prediction method based on LSTM thermal neural network. Specifically, the IGBT module junction temperature prediction system based on LSTM thermal neural network includes an equation module, a data module, a construction module, and a prediction module.

[0110] Among them, the equation module analyzes the unsteady heat transfer characteristics of the multilayer materials inside the IGBT module and constructs the DHT equation based on the structural and material properties.

[0111] The data module generates a training dataset containing temperature response data under different power loss conditions through FEM simulation;

[0112] The module constructs an LSTM thermal neural network junction temperature prediction model and embeds a physical layer within it. This physical layer contains two sub-neural networks. R net and C net These are used to extract the mapping relationship between input features and thermal resistance and thermal capacity, respectively;

[0134] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0135] This invention presents a comprehensive experimental evaluation of the IGBT module junction temperature prediction method based on an LSTM thermal neural network under different operating conditions (converter power of 200kVA, 300kVA, 400kVA, and 500kVA). Experimental results show that this method outperforms traditional finite element method (FEM) simulation in both prediction accuracy and computational efficiency.

[0136] like Figure 4 As shown, we compared the junction temperature prediction results of LSTM thermal neural network, FEM simulation, and experimental data under different load conditions. It can be seen that the prediction results of LSTM thermal neural network are highly consistent with the experimental data, while FEM simulation shows significant deviations under certain operating conditions. According to the error statistics, the mean absolute error (MAE) of the junction temperature prediction by LSTM thermal neural network compared to the experimentally measured junction temperature is 0.163~0.281, the root mean square error (RMSE) is 0.185~0.325, and the coefficient of determination (R²) is... 2The accuracy rates were 92.36%–99.71%. In comparison, the MAE and RMSE of FEM simulations compared to experiments were 0.464–0.552, and the R... 2 The range is 78.50% to 98.52%. To facilitate the use of simulation results for power semiconductor device lifetime assessment, the relative error of the maximum junction temperature is also considered. The accuracy of LSTM thermal neural network and FEM simulation is compared using the percentage (%). As the converter power increases from 200 kVA to 500 kVA, the relative error of the junction temperature predicted by LSTM thermal neural network compared to the experimentally measured maximum value decreased from 1.15% to 0.36%. In contrast, the relative error of FEM simulation compared to the experimental maximum value decreased from 2.13% to 1.08%. This demonstrates that LSTM thermal neural network has higher junction temperature prediction accuracy than FEM simulation.

[0137] The results show that the LSTM thermal neural network can more accurately capture the dynamic changes in the junction temperature of IGBT modules and has higher prediction reliability. This provides a more accurate and reliable method for junction temperature prediction.

[0138] In summary, this invention presents an IGBT module junction temperature prediction method and system based on an LSTM thermal neural network. By combining physical constraints with the time-series modeling capabilities of deep learning, it dynamically extracts thermal resistance and heat capacity, resulting in smaller prediction errors under different operating conditions. The MAE and RMSE metrics are superior to traditional methods, and the model shows high consistency with FEM simulation and experimental data. The multi-condition training dataset generated through FEM simulation allows the model to adapt to different power losses, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods in handling nonlinear heat transfer. The trained model offers fast prediction speeds, meeting real-time requirements. Furthermore, the embedded physical layer ensures that the prediction conforms to heat transfer laws, improving the reliability and economy of IGBT module thermal management. This method is particularly suitable for offline junction temperature assessment scenarios for manufacturers.
