Two Decades of Condition Monitoring Methods for Power Devices

Condition monitoring (CM) of power semiconductor devices enhances converter reliability and customer service. Many studies have investigated the semiconductor devices failure modes, the sensor technologies, and the signal processing techniques to optimize the CM. Furthermore, the improvement of power devices’ CM thanks to the use of the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technologies is rising in smart grids, transportation electrification, and so on. These technologies will be widespread in the future, where more and more smart techniques and smart sensors will enable a better estimation of the state of the health (SOH) of the devices. Considering the increasing use of power converters, CM is essential as the analysis of the data obtained from multiple sensors enables the prediction of the SOH, which, in turn, enables to properly schedule the maintenance, i.e., accounting for the trade-off between the maintenance cost and the cost and issues due to the device failure. From this perspective, this review paper summarizes past developments and recent advances of the various methods with the aim of describing the current state-of-the-art in CM research.

“…Electrical energy conversion devices are ordinarily named converters. Electrical power converters have become extensively used with various types and ratings ranging from low voltage to high voltage in many industrial applications [2], [3]. Optimum voltage vectors can be exerted to the power grid or attached loads by various electrical power converters such as two-level voltage source converter (2L-VSC), matrix converter, AC / AC voltage converter, and multilevel inverters.…”

Memory, speed, reliability, and efficiency are the main characteristics of concern in new contemporary control techniques of electric power converters. Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is a widespread digital compute-intensive control technique used in the control of power converters. This study aims to overcome the large number of calculations needed by the SVPWM algorithm, which limits its implementation in many advanced industrial applications. This paper presents a low-cost software implemented simplified SVPWM technique. The proposed strategy generates the inverter switching times in a straightforward manner with no need for complicated and time-consuming sector identification and look-up switching tables. A simulation study has been done using MATLAB/SIMULINK environment for the three-phase voltage source converter (VSC). The results in terms of total harmonic distortion (THD) in the converter line voltage are compared for the proposed technique, conventional SVPWM, and space pulse width modulation (SPWM). The execution time is reduced considerably with a slight increase in the value of THD and about 14.4 percent DC-link voltage utilization over the SPWM.
