Abstract
Flexible DC transmission technology is an important support for constructing new power systems. The press-pack IGBT device has the advantages of double-sided heat dissipation and high power density in series and is the core device in the flexible HVDC project. However, the compact parallel arrangement of multiple chips in the press-pack IGBT (PPI) device easily causes uneven current distribution in the device, which affects its reliability. In this paper, a noninvasive sensing method for the internal current distribution of the PPI device is proposed based on the measurement of the external magnetic field and the numerical analysis of the magnetic field. According to the correlation between the device current distribution and the external magnetic field, a noninvasive current distribution sensing method based on the measurement and numerical analysis of the external magnetic field is proposed, and the placement strategy of the magnetic field measurement points is given. The error of the perception method under ideal conditions is analyzed, the error size and rule are summarized, and the correction methods are given, respectively. Finally, a magnetic field measuring device is designed and verified by experiments. The results can accurately indicate the direction of pressure deviation.
