Abstract

Due to the different time-scale behaviors of electricity and thermal, the most electro-thermal IGBT models cannot achieve a good trade-off between simulation efficiency and accuracy. This paper presents a data-based IGBT model for electro-thermal analysis to attain a better performance in circuit simulation. In the model, the data come from the Hefner model which has been re-expressed by MATLAB script. What's more, a two-layer feed-forward neural network with sigmoid hidden neurons and linear output neurons is created to describe the transient behaviors of IGBT devices. The network is trained with the dataset obtained by modifying different parameters in re-expressed Hefner model. Due to the application of IGBT physical model and neural network, the model can be used to simulate not only the transient electricity behaviors, such as switching energy loss and the voltage overshoot, but also the long-time thermal behavior. The complete model is implemented in Simulink and verified by Saber and the experimental prototype test, which shows high efficiency and accuracy.
