  • Patent number: 11544917
    Abstract: A fault diagnosis method for power electronic circuits based on optimizing a deep belief network, including steps. (1) Use RT-LAB hardware-in-the-loop simulator to set up fault experiments and collect DC-link output voltage signals in different fault types. (2) Use empirical mode decomposition to extract the intrinsic function components of the output voltage signal and its envelope spectrum and calculate various statistical features to construct the original fault feature data set. (3) Based on the feature selection method of extreme learning machine, remove the redundancy and interference features, as fault sensitive feature data set. (4) Divide the fault sensitive feature set into training samples and test samples, and primitively determine the structure of the deep belief network. (5) Use the crow search algorithm to optimize the deep belief network. (6) Obtain the fault diagnosis result.

  • Publication number: 20220100624
    Abstract: A method and a system of identifying and estimating a complex analog circuit failure, belonging to the field of power electronic circuit failure prediction. The method includes the following steps: building a degradation simulation model of an analog circuit to be diagnosed, performing a parameter aging simulation experiment on different devices; extracting a time domain feature of each of output signals by using a time-series transformation method, building a health index of each of the devices based on angle similarity; identifying whether the analog circuit to be diagnosed is degraded and a starting point of degradation by combining a time moving window and a convolutional neural network; multiplexing part of hidden layers of the convolutional neural network and a long short term memory-recurrent neural network to estimate a health state of a degraded analog circuit; and evaluating prediction accuracy.

  • Patent number: 11095279
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a PSR-PWM technique for high power active front-end inverters to damp a specific inter-harmonic that may cause relative sub-synchronous resonance in power system. Due to the strong interaction between wind power converters, photovoltaic converters, FACTS devices and HVDC transmission, low-frequency oscillations occur from a few Hz to dozens of Hz, or even high-frequency oscillations ranging from about 300-2000 Hz. Meanwhile, low-frequency oscillations ranging from 0.6 Hz to 7 Hz occur in the power supply systems of many electric locomotives. Even in the case of large-scale train outage, low-frequency oscillation will lead to abnormal locomotive dispatching system; in addition, the power grid voltage disturbance and flicker caused by a large number of high-power are furnaces and other nonlinear loads in the industrial field with a passband inter-harmonic frequency ranging from 0.05 Hz-90 Hz and so on are detected.
