You can calculate power dissipation of power devices in your converter through calculation or simulation.
The fastest way is to use Wolfspeed online simulation tool Speedfit 2.0 which includes majority of power converter topologies and all of Wolfspeed's SiC device portfolio.
More details on junction temperature calculation using thermal impedance and power loss of the device can be found in this Application Note "Thermal Management of Bottom-Side Cooled Surface Mount Devices and Design Considerations" under design examples.
