Recently, the thermal management of power electronic converters has gained significant attention due to the continuous trend of developing very compact power electronic converters with high power density. With the evolution of power semiconductor devices, high operating temperatures and large thermal cycles have become possible, necessitating a significant improvement in thermal system designs. Researchers have made significant efforts to develop effective thermal management systems for improving the reliability and lifetime of power electronic converters. This article intends to present a thorough review of thermal management systems employed in power electronics cooling. The applied thermal management techniques have been reviewed from the perspective of electrical parameter regulation and heat dissipation control. Regulation of electrical parameters involves active thermal control, which is a method for controlling junction temperature and thermal cycling of power semiconductor devices. The active thermal control implementation processes reviewed in this article consist of increasing overload capacity, manipulating switching and conduction losses, employing modified modulation process, balancing thermal stress at the converter level, and controlling thermal stress at the system level. Control of heat dissipation can be achieved through direct and indirect cooling of power electronic converters with air or liquid as the coolant. The effectiveness and implementation methods of these cooling techniques, such as channel cooling, phase change material-based cooling, immersion cooling, jet impingement and spray cooling, are reviewed in this paper. Moreover, performance-enhancing ideas and challenges for these techniques are discussed. The primary objective of this review paper is to bridge the existing gap in the literature by offering a comprehensive comparison of commonly employed thermal management techniques.

“…1 Passive thermal management has the advantages of simplicity and reliability compared to active thermal management. 2 Peng et al 3 used phase change materials filled in the internal skeleton of a logging apparatus for cooling the heat source circuits, however passive management can only slow down the internal heating process and still faced high-temperature damage as its internal temperature continued to increase over time. Thermal prediction, as a major part of thermal management, is an important mean to avoid the high-temperature environment to bring harm to the electronic devices.…”

In the downhole oil and gas industry, temperature prediction is an important means to avoid the hazards brought by the high-temperature environment to electronic devices. An improved adaptive Kalman filter (IAKF) temperature prediction method, used here as a virtual sensor, can predict the instrument temperature in real time. It uses the temperature state transfer matrix as a system adaptive discriminant parameter to improve the prediction accuracy of the model. This approach is a data-driven prediction method for practical, field-deployable application, it does not require modeling of heat transfer mechanisms and does not require data sets. Experiments results show that the IAKF model can effectively predict the changing trend of the apparatus in the next 30 min, and the maximum temperature prediction error is within 6.5°C. Its predictions are more stable and accurate than the extended Kalman filter, and it consumes very little CPU resources to run in embedded devices.
