Performance Evaluation of Thermal Management for a 3-Phase Interleaved DC-DC Boost Converter

Thermal management of power electronics in electrified vehicles is critical for ensuring robust functionality during a vehicle's transient operation. For high-power converters, liquid cooling is often necessary to maintain the device's junction below its critical temperature. Usually the manufacturer's datasheet for liquid cold plates is used to create thermal models, but this method has some shortcomings. The data provided is generally …
