Selected failure mechanisms of modern power modules
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews the main failure mechanisms occurring in modern power modules paying special attention to insulated gate bipolar transistor devices for high-power applications. This compendium provides the main failure modes, the physical or chemical processes that lead to the failure, and reports some major technological countermeasures, which are used for realizing the very stringent reliability requirements imposed in particular by the electrical traction applications. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Modern Topology& Thermal Analysis of Drive for Variable Speed Pumped Storage Power Plant
Given the significant power generation and consumption of variable-speed pumped storage power plants (VSPSPs), it is crucial to enhance drive methods and decrease drive losses, thereby increasing productivity. This paper proposes the topology for VSPSP drivers with two level voltage source converters (2LVSC) with 6+1 converters. Hydraulic and electrical VSPSP models are presented, following whi...
متن کاملReliability Issues in Pv Systems – Experience and Improvements
A survey was conducted to collect information on faults, failures and poor performance from large PV plants a well as residential system like the ones of the »1000-Roofs-Programme«. The reason for a low energy yield in some systems was analysed. Modern modules built for a high voltage show very few failures. In one plant electrical faults affected 0.1 % of the total number of modules after two ...
متن کاملPrioritizing Potential Risks based on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis Using Data Envelopment Analysis: a case study
The need to establish power plants to supply the required electricity of the country has been rising due to increasing demand levels as well as the lack of governmental resources. Furthermore, the available traditional attitude in performing and conducting power plant projects has made government seek a modern attitude. This paper tries to use the topics that have been employed in automotive in...
متن کاملFAILURE MECHANISMS OF REFRACTORY LININGS FOR NONFERROUS FLASH SMELTING FURNACES
Although the flash smelting technologies use different furnace designs, the refractory linings are exposed to very similar aggressive environments and, as a result, the corrosion analysis results on one type of furnace could be generally applied to other furnaces of similar high temperature processes. Particularities regarding the different chemistries of the pyrometallurgical process and opera...
متن کاملUniserial modules of generalized power series
Let R be a ring, M a right R-module and (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid. In this paper we will show that if (S,≤) is a strictly ordered monoid satisfying the condition that 0 ≤ s for all s ∈ S, then the module [[MS,≤]] of generalized power series is a uniserial right [[RS,≤]] ]]-module if and only if M is a simple right R-module and S is a chain monoid.
