Description

SuperGrid Institute brings together 180 employees, of 28 different nationalities who work together within a dynamic environment in the city of Lyon.

As an independent research and innovation centre, we are dedicated to developing technologies for the future power transmission system, the "supergrid", including HVDC & MVDC technologies.

General Context:

SiC MOSFETs have revolutionized power energy conversion above 600 V with their lower on-state resistance and higher switching frequency compared to Silicon IGBTs.

Their maturity is growing strong, and manufacturers are integrating this technology ever more. Nonetheless, condition and health monitoring of these "new" devices is required to fully exploit their potential in power conversion.

This research field is thus gaining momentum and is pushing both academia and industry to seek solutions for electrical parameter online measurement and remaining useful life estimation.

Electrical parameter measurement is the first step towards condition & health monitoring but is a challenging task as it has to be carried out during the operation of the converter in most cases.

On-line measurement of SiC MOSFETs' electrical parameters is thus the goal of this internship.

Benefits:

Remboursement des transports à 50%

Objectives / Missions:

The goal of the internship is to perform the accurate measurement of electrical and thermals SiC MOSFETs parameters and build an electrothermal modelling platform.

The second, but main goal is to implement on-line electrical parameter monitoring system on SiC MOSFETs.

Tasks:

Literature review
Electro thermal characterisation of SiC MOSFET (650 V to 3.3 kV)
Electrothermal modeling of SiC MOSFETs on LTspice
Prototyping measurement
Drain Source voltage
Onstate resistance
Junction temperature

What we have to offer:

You will be joining an institute for energy transition, a promising and stimulating field of activity,
A young, dynamic working environment,
Diverse, international teams (+25 nationalities),Contribution to meal expenses (company restaurant)
Sports club within the company (onsite yoga, football, running, etc.)Use of selfservice company bicycles
