• Challenges and Strategies for a Real-Time Implementation of a Rainflow-Counting Algorithm for Fatigue Assessment of Power Modules 

      Antonopoulos, Antonios; D'Arco, Salvatore; Hernes, Magnar; Peftitsis, Dimosthenis (IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition. Conference Proceedings;2019, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The aim of this work is to obtain a reliable estimation of the remaining lifetime of power-electronic modules. Lifetime models provide information on the fatigue durability of power modules under repetitive loading ...
    • Challenges of SiC MOSFET Power Cycling Methodology 

      Göthner, Fredrik T. B. W.; Spro, Ole Christian; Hernes, Magnar; Peftitsis, Dimosthenis (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      This paper investigates the power cycling methodology for reliability testing of SiC metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Dedicated test benches were designed and built to study this issue. The ...
    • Failure analysis and lifetime assessment of IGBT power modules at low temperature stress cycles 

      Hernes, Magnar; D'Arco, Salvatore; Antonopoulos, Antonios; Peftitsis, Dimosthenis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Lifetime models of high‐power Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors modules express the number of cycles to end of life as a function of stress parameters. These models are normally developed based on experimental data from ...
