Thermal aspects of a low cost power electronic converter for high capacity, smart residential distribution networks

Collection Method: File Fig2.m data generated on 05/01/2016. These are the different MCBs trip-time versus time characteristics and associated PEC trip characteristic. • File Fig3.m data generated on 15/11/2015. These are the results from LTspice Simulation showing the power dissipations of the AC chopper with 4 off, 300 A SiC MOSFET modules. • File Fig7.m data generated on 09/08/2015. These are the results based on the thermal measurements (in deg. C) taken from the meter box locations. • File Fig8.m data generated on 11/09/2015. These are the estimated and measured results based on the thermal measurements (in deg. C) taken from the meter box locations. • File Fig9.m data generated on 05/01/2016. These are the measured results, showing the coordination of PEC trip characteristic and Heatsinks thermal capacities. • File Fig11.m data generated on 05/01/2016. These are the ANSYS simulation results, showing the coordination of PEC trip characteristic and Heatsinks thermal capacities.
