An Evaluation on Thermal Performance Improvements for SiC Power Module Integrated With Vapor Chamber in MMC

Thermal Design of a Medium Voltage Modular Multilevel Converter Cell

“…Almost all reported MMC designs use either natural or forced air cooling, or water cooling for their cells. Some exotic proposals also can be found, such as the use of a vapor chamber in [12]. Offering a good tradeoff between cooling capabilities, volume and complexity, forced convection is the dominant solution and all of the above-mentioned academic prototypes [10], [13]- [22] rely on forced convection and are often not enclosed in cabinets, but realized as open-frame designs.…”
