The rise of electric vehicles (EVs), driven by environmental concerns and increasing consumer demand, presents challenges such as reducing charging times, extending range, and ensuring reliability. Innovations in power electronics provide solutions for faster charging and enhanced efficiency but generate more heat in smaller volumes, necessitating efficient thermal management. This study investigates various cold plate designs for double-side cooled (DSC) SiC MOSFET power modules in high-power EV traction inverters. The performance of these designs is evaluated through lifetime assessments and thermal analyses, employing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations across a range of conditions.
