## Forward Curve Model Equation: 

IF = (VF - VBI)/RDIFF (A) 

Built-In Voltage (VBI): 

VBI(T ) = j m × T  + j n (V) m = -0.00123 (V/°C) n = 0.995 (V)

Differential Resistance (RDIFF 

## ): 

- RDIFF(T ) = j a × Tj[2] + b × T  + j c (Ω) a = 1.59e-06 (Ω/°C2) b = 0.000226 (Ω/°C) c = 0.0669 (Ω) 

## Forward Power Loss Equation: 

PLOSS = VBI(T ) × Ij AVG + RDIFF(T ) × Ij RMS[2]
