“…More research explores the possibility of integrating more components of the EMI filter into the power module package in addition to the decoupling capacitors. In [58], [59], CM capacitors are added to the package and realize a good EMI attenuation. References [60], [61] not only include the CM capacitors but also integrate a CM inductor in the power module package as shown in Fig.…”

The wide applications of wide-bandgap (WBG) devices in power electronics systems bring benefits in higher switching speed, frequency, and power density, but also cause severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues. While many EMI mitigation methods are available to reduce the noise generated from the source (i.e. switching WBG devices), it is equally important to analyze and control the EMI propagation paths. In WBG systems, the parasitic and coupling effects become dominant due to the high switching frequency and the compact system size, which creates uncontrolled propagation paths that degrade the systems' EMI performance significantly. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the parasitic and coupling effects and develop corresponding mitigation techniques. This review focuses on analyzing the EMI propagation paths to provide a comprehensive guideline to identify possible parasitics and couplings in the power module package level, EMI filter level, and the power electronics system level. The corresponding mitigation techniques for common-mode and differential-mode conducted EMI as well as radiated EMI are summarized, and the remaining challenges and future research topics are also discussed for all three levels in the conclusion.

“…This is made possible through advanced packaging technology, which enables the integration of passive filters and power modules. Reference [98] integrates CM capacitors into SiC modules to reduce conducted EMI. Similarly, to minimize the filter parasitic effects, Reference [99] integrates the CM filter with the CaN half-bridge power module, as shown in Figure 17.…”

With the global attention given to energy issues, the electrification of aviation and the development of more electric aircraft (MEA) have become important trends in the modern aviation industry. The electric actuator plays multiple roles in aircraft such as flight control, making it a crucial technology for MEA. Given the limited space available inside an aircraft, the power density of electric actuators has become a critical design factor. However, the pursuit of high power density results in the need for larger rated power and higher switching frequency, which can lead to severe electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues. This, in turn, poses significant challenges to the overall reliability of the electric actuator. This paper provides a comprehensive review of EMI in high power density motor drive systems for electric actuator systems. Firstly, the state of the art of electric actuator systems are surveyed, pointing out the contradictory relationship between high power density and EMI. Subsequently, various EMI modeling approaches of motor control systems are reviewed. Additionally, the main EMI suppression methods are summarized. Active EMI mitigation methods are emphasized in this paper due to their advantages of higher power density compared with passive EMI filters. Finally, the paper concludes by summarizing the EMI research in motor drive systems and offering the prospects of electric actuators.

“…High-power-density design of power electronics converters requires accurate power losses analysis of SiC MOSFETs, especially switching losses [3]. High-speed operation of SiC MOSFETs increases the dv/dt and di/dt of the switching transients [4], which causes electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems to the converters [5].…”

To enable fast and accurate models of SiC MOS-FETs for transient simulation, a hybrid data-driven modeling methodology of SiC MOSFETs is proposed. Unlike conventional modeling methods that are based on complex nonlinear equations, data-driven Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are used in this paper. For model accuracy, the I-V characteristics are measured in the whole operation region to train the ANN. The ANN model is then combined with behavior-based equations to model the cutoff region and to avoid overfitting the ANN. In addition, the C-V characteristics are modeled by ANNs with a logarithmic scale for accuracy. The proposed model is implemented and simulated in SPICE simulator SIMetrix. The simulation results are compared with experimental results from a double-pulse tester to validate the proposed modeling methodology. The model is also compared with the Angelov model created by the Keysight MOSFET modeling software. The comparison results show that the proposed model is more accurate than the Angelov model. Besides, when compared to the Angelov model, the proposed model requires 30% less computation time when simulating a double pulse tester. In addition, the proposed modeling method also has better adaptability to model different types of SiC MOSFETs.Index Terms-SiC MOSFET, transient model, hybrid modeling, artificial neural network.
