Abstract
This paper presents a 200 kW high power density traction drive inverter design for higher power and performance electrical vehicles applications. The design employs the segmented drive topology to reduce the DC bus capacitor, low-profile double sided cooled SiC MOSFET power modules, compact mini-channel heat sinks optimized using genetic-algorithms, and high-ripple current capacitors. The paper includes design details and experimental results for a 200 kW inverter prototype with a power density of 110 kVA/L.
