Development of a Hardware Simulator for Reliable Design of Modular Multilevel Converters Based on Junction-Temperature of IGBT Modules

This paper presents the development of a hardware simulator based on the junction-temperature of insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules in modular multilevel converters (MMCs). The MMC consists of various power-electronics components, and the IGBT is the main factor determining the lifetim...
