SIMULINK model for Lifetime Analysis of IGBT Power Modules in Passively Cooled Tidal Turbine Converters
The SIMULINK model is meant to estimate the junction temperature thermal cycling in a power electronic converter coupled with a tidal turbine converter. The temperature cycling information is useful for estimating the useful lifetime of the IGBT power modules in the converter. For lifetime value, you need to have a lifetime model separately, which is not provided here. The details about the modeling (incl. lifetime model) can be found in the linked reference. For confidentiality purposes, data has not been provided, and as such the model cannot be 'run' right away. However, after supplying the missing data the user can make use of the models.
