Power Conversion and System Packaging Technologies with SiC power semiconductor devices for Harsh Environment Applications

讲座人:Dr. Saijun Mao, Fudan University

讲座摘要:

This tutorial will focus on the power conversion and system packaging technologies with silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductor devices for downhole and subsea power high temperature high pressure harsh environment applications. The downhole oil well logging tools need to operate up to several kilometers deep-well, which accounts for 30kpsi extreme pressure and high temperatures of 150°C to 175°C and beyond. The subsea oil exploration electrical systems need to be located at depths of up to 3km in deep water and to withstand high pressure around 4.4kpsi (300bar). Because of the downhole and subsea harsh-environment applications, the power conversion systems need to survive well beyond the traditional temperature, high pressure, as well as high shock and vibration environments. The challenges of high temperature, high pressure environments bring the research and development opportunities for power generation, power conversion and power electronics packaging technologies to meet the requirements of oil & gas downhole and subsea industry. This tutorial aims at providing power electronics researchers and engineers with fundamental knowledge (mainly for entry-level professionals) as well as advanced design techniques (mainly for senior-level professionals) of power conversion and packaging technologies. The tutorial will start with the overview of oil & gas downhole power generation and conversion system, as well as subsea power system. The key requirements for the high temperature high pressure harsh environment power generation & conversion and system packaging technologies will be introduced. The tutorial will then introduce the high temperature power generation with the turbine generator as the downhole energy harvester and power conversion with SiC power semiconductor devices. The high temperature packaging and switching characterizations of 1.2 kV SiC MOSFETs, as well as high temperature gate driver circuit solution at 175°C will be presented. The high pressure subsea power packaging technologies for pressure tolerant power electronics considering the mechanical, electrical, thermal and reliability requirements will be provided. The reliably, power density and packaging technologies, as well as characterizations of SiC MOSFET modules for subsea medium voltage drive inverters will be discussed. The detailed insulation and thermal modeling, packaging design and experimental validation for the subsea pressure tolerant 60 kVDC/1.5 kA oil insulated high voltage switches and 5 MVA 22 kV/6.6 kV subsea power transformers will be introduced in details. The last section of the tutorial will provide a summary and development trends of power conversion and system packaging technologies high temperature high pressure harsh environment applications.
