Abstract:
Recent progress in the design of drive-train inverters for
Electric Vehicles (EVs) predominantly emphasizes the minimization of component sizes while
concurrently enhancing power densities. This evolution, though significant in advancing automotive
technology, introduces complex challenges concerning thermal management. The presented research in
this paper delineates a novel liquid cooling system combining jet impingement and mini-channel
methodologies to tackle the specific thermal management issues associated with a SiC MOSFET
module. Subsequently, the study employs two distinct optimization techniques to perform design
optimization of thermal management system, focusing on critical parameters influencing the
manufacturability characteristics of the cooling mechanism. After implementing the optimization
process, the "JF" performance indicator is improved to a value of 1.92, proving the method's
efficacy. Furthermore, the outcomes of the optimization analysis indicate that Bayesian
Optimization method embodies substantial promise for future design implementations,
characterized by its expeditious and reliable optimization
process.
