Overload robust IGBT design for SSCB application

Explosion proof housings for IGBT module based high power inverters in HVDC transmission application

Worldwide many attempts are taken to improve lifetime and power cycling capability of wire bonded IGBT modules. But even in very conservative inverter designs overload conditions may occur and cause damage to the inverter. In addition it is a fact that even the best design will reach its "end of life"

A robust electro-thermal IGBT SPICE model: Application to short-circuit protection circuit design

3.3kV High Speed IGBT Module For Bi-directional and Medium Frequency Application

3.3kV high speed IGBT module was developed. Optimized lifetime control realized drastically decreasing of both of turn off loss and recovery loss. This high speed characteristic is suitable for bi-directional and medium frequency application such as resonant DC/DC converter. IGBT switching and diode reverse recovery behaviour at resonant DC/DC converter modelled circuit were demonstrated. Obvio...

Resolving Design Trade-offs with the BIGT Concept

The Bi-mode Insulated Gate Transistor BIGT is a single chip reverse conducting IGBT concept, which is foreseen to replace the standard IGBT / Diode two chip approach in many high power semiconductor applications. Therefore, it is necessary to understand in detail the design challenges and performance trade-offs faced when optimizing the BIGT for different application requirements. In this paper...

Primal and dual robust counterparts of uncertain linear programs: an application to portfolio selection

This paper proposes a family of robust counterpart for uncertain linear programs (LP) which is obtained for a general definition of the uncertainty region. The relationship between uncertainty sets using norm bod-ies and their corresponding robust counterparts defined by dual norms is presented. Those properties lead us to characterize primal and dual robust counterparts. The researchers show t...
