Zusammenfassung:This paper describes briefly the design of a MW-scale converter phase module with high power density for use in renewable energy applications. Key aspects of the design process are reported, including laminated busbar design in FastHenry and MATLAB/Simulink, device loss and temperature modelling in PLECS, and air cooling thermal calculations in CFDesign.
