Abstract

A method comprises determining an estimated temperature of a semiconductor power device of a power converter. The method further comprises controlling a blower that provides a cooling fluid to cool the power converter, based on the estimated temperature and a temperature of the cooling fluid. The blower may be controlled further based on an electrical power level of the power converter and/or one or more thermal characteristics of the power converter.
