Characterization of Electric Field Distribution Within High Voltage Press-packed IGBT Submodules Under Conditions of Repetitive Turn-on and Turn-off
The high-voltage high-power press-packed IGBT (PPI) devices are the key component of the DC transmission apparatus. A PPI device is composed of several PPI submodules. In general
the PPI submodule works in a state of repetitive turn-on and turn-off
and the corresponding working voltage is the positive periodic square waveform (PPSW) voltage
which is much different from the conventional AC or DC voltage. In ad-dition
insulation capability is one of the most critical challenges in the design and fabrication of PPI devices. To improve the insulation capability of the device
composite insulation structures with multiple dielectrics are usually employed. Under the PPSW voltage
it is essential to analyze the transient electric field to solve the insulation challenge of the PPI devices. However
the electric field of the PPI is often calculated under the electrostatic field or DC field. Moreover
the transient characteristics of the electric field are ignored. Therefore
this paper focuses on the analysis of the transient characteristics of the electric field of the PPI submodule under the PPSW voltage. The influences of the waveform parameters of the PPSW voltage on the transient characteristics are demonstrated in detail. This study is significant for the insulation analysis and design of the PPIs.
