Abstract

A reduced mathematical model of the thermal behavior of integrated power electronics module (IPEM) is discussed. The proposed model is an efficient compact thermal model of the IPEM based on lumped thermal capacitance model. The model is validated against a full three dimensional finite volume approach and with experimental data, to make it very efficient and accurate. The reduced electrothermal models are found to be excellent alternative for design methodologies of new generations of IPEMs.
