Abstract

As energy systems move towards wide-spread electrification, penetration of power semiconductor devices and power electronics continue to grow at a rapid pace. This paper attempts at reviewing the state-of-the-art in power semiconductor modeling and the existing state of modeling in general on the design of devices and systems. The modeling needs for semiconductor devices vary depending on the end-goal, and the level of abstraction needed towards model formulation also changes with the size and complexity of the system to be designed. Finally, key aspects of thermal design and modeling for power electronics are also discussed.
