Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of power electronic device simulation design technology, specifically relating to a SiC controller electromagnetic-thermal-mechanical fully coupled simulation design method and system. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of power electronics technology, silicon carbide (SiC) devices, due to their high-frequency, high-temperature, and high-voltage characteristics, are widely used in new energy vehicles, rail transit, smart grids, and other fields. SiC controllers have become a key core component for improving the performance of various systems. Simulation analysis is an indispensable part of the SiC controller design process. However, traditional simulation methods often only consider the influence of a single physical field, such as simulating only the electromagnetic field or analyzing only the thermal field, neglecting the interaction between different physical fields. In reality, during the operation of a SiC controller, the electromagnetic field generates switching losses, leading to temperature increases and the formation of a thermal field. Temperature changes, in turn, alter the electrical and mechanical properties of the material, affecting the distribution of the electromagnetic field. Simultaneously, the temperature increase also generates thermal stress, forming a mechanical stress field. The presence of mechanical stress may, in turn, affect the electrical performance and heat dissipation characteristics of the device. Therefore, simulation of a single physical field cannot accurately reflect the actual operating state of the SiC controller.
[0003] Furthermore, under high temperature and high pressure environments, SiC materials are subject to radiation damage, leading to changes in their material parameters. Traditional simulation methods do not consider the impact of radiation damage on material parameters, resulting in low simulation accuracy and difficulty in meeting engineering design requirements. Simultaneously, the performance parameters of SiC modules (such as on-resistance, switching speed, and breakdown voltage) degrade with changes in temperature and stress. Understanding these degradation patterns is crucial for the optimized design and reliability improvement of SiC controllers, but current research in this area is still incomplete.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simulation design method for SiC controllers that can take into account the coupling of multiple physical fields and the effects of irradiation damage, and to reveal the degradation law of SiC controller performance parameters with temperature and stress, so as to improve simulation accuracy and provide strong support for the optimization design of SiC controllers.
