Abstract :
This paper presents a design and experimental validation of a temperature feedback control scheme to realize the reduction of temperature variation amplitude of power devices or modules. A full-order observer state-space thermal model enables estimation and control of the temperature at reliability critical locations only measuring one accessible location.
