  • Patent number: 11656266
    Abstract: A method and a system for online monitoring of a health status of an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module are provided, which belong to the field of IGBT status monitoring. In order to overcome the inability to real-time monitor health statuses of existing IGBT modules, the method of the disclosure includes the following steps. A current sensor is used to measure a collector current of each IGBT module. A collected current value is substituted into a simulation model to obtain a current imbalance rate. A failure module is located according to the current imbalance rate and temperature to achieve the objective of monitoring an IGBT health status.

  • Patent number: 11543305
    Abstract: A method for estimating the junction temperature on-line on an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module, including the following steps. Estimate the junction temperature by the temperature sensitive electrical parameter method, set the space thermal model of the extended state, and apply the Kalman filter to the junction temperature estimation. The temperature sensitive electrical parameter method estimates the junction temperature of the IGBT power module in real time, selects the IGBT conduction voltage drop VCE(ON) as the temperature sensitive electrical parameter, and provides a VCE(ON) on-line measuring circuit. The power loss of the diode and IGBT and the estimated value of junction temperature obtained by the temperature sensitive electrical parameter method are taken as the input of the Kalman filter, and measurement noise and process noise are considered to obtain an optimal estimated value of junction temperature.

  • Patent number: 11368011
    Abstract: An intermediate relay maloperation preventing device and method based on an improved recursive wavelet algorithm is provided. The device includes a power supply module, a voltage sampling circuit, an analog-to-digital conversion module, a DSP chip, and a relay maloperation signal shielding module. The voltage sampling circuit is connected to the analog-to-digital conversion module. The analog-to-digital conversion module is connected to the DSP chip. The DSP chip is connected to and controls a relay signal control module. The voltage sampling circuit collects a voltage. An improved recursive wavelet is used to extract a voltage feature. As such, identification of a fault signal and a normal signal is achieved, and real-time fault monitoring is accomplished. The detection method may be easily implemented, exhibits good filtering performance and anti-interference capability, delivers high detection accuracy, and may accomplish real-time online monitoring of intermediate relay faults.
