  • Patent number: 8952642
    Abstract: Temperature rise in semiconductor switching element that is part of a power conversion device is estimated to assess the degradation and remaining lifetime of the switching element. This is accomplished with a heat generation amount calculation unit in a calculation processor, where current command values Id* and Iq* and voltage command values vu*, vv* and vw* are used to calculate a chip loss. Current values iu*, iv* and iw* of all output phases are estimated from the current command values. The ON/OFF loss of the chip is represented by a function of an estimated value for a current flowing in each output phase, and the loss can be derived by integration with a PWM carrier frequency f. With respect to a conduction loss, a conduction time is integrated with the estimated current value and a saturation voltage, which is a function of the estimated current value.

    Abstract: Ringing is securely reduced in a case where a Schottky barrier diode of a wide-gap semiconductor is applied to a power conversion circuit. A gate voltage increasing circuit 11a is included. In a period since a gate voltage of a semiconductor switching element in one of upper and lower arms starts being increased from a value in an off-state until the gate voltage reaches a value in an on-state, the gate voltage increasing circuit 11a is configured to make a gate voltage of the semiconductor switching element in the other one of the upper and lower arms change from a value in an off-state into a value larger than the value in the off-state and is configured to control the value larger than the value in the off-state for a predetermined period of time.
