Overview of Degradation Mechanisms and Status Detection for Wire-bond and Press-pack IGBTs
The insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is the core power conversion component of flexible direct current transmission technology
and its reliability is crucial for the safe and stable operation of flexible direct current transmission systems. Sensor-based methods for detecting the status of IGBT devices can improve their operational reliability and reduce the economic losses caused by device failures. This paper first explores the similarities and differences in the degradation mechanisms and main failure modes of soldered IGBTs and press-pack IGBTs. Then
based on the various packaging forms of IGBTs
a detailed review of the research status of IGBT condition monitoring methods is presented from two perspectives: embedded detection and non-contact detection
focusing on physical parameters such as temperature
current
stress waves
and stress-strain. Based on the current state of research
this paper summarizes the challenges and limitations of existing studies and discusses future research directions for IGBT status detection technology.
