  • Abstract
    This paper presents fast and simple methods to calculate IGBT and diode switching and conduction losses in power electronic system simulation. With the models derived in this paper, these losses can be calculated although the device data is incomplete. A novel approach to calculate diode reverse recovery losses is included. Furthermore, the correlation between stray inductance and switching energy is investigated.
