  • Patent number: 11888316
    Abstract: A method and a system of predicting an electric system load based on wavelet noise reduction and empirical mode decomposition-autoregressive integrated moving average (EMD-ARIMA) are provided. The method and the system belong to a field of electric system load prediction. The method includes the following steps. Raw load data of an electric system is obtained first. Next, noise reduction processing is performed on the load data through wavelet analysis. The noise-reduced load data is further processed through an EMD method to obtain different load components. Finally, ARIMA models corresponding to the different load components are built. Further, the ARIMA models are optimized through an Akaike information criterion (AIC) and a Bayesian information criterion (BIC). The load components obtained through predicting the different ARIMA models are reconstructed to obtain a final prediction result, and accuracy of load prediction is therefore effectively improved.

  • Patent number: 11874336
    Abstract: A method and a system for diagnosing a fault of a three-phase three-level rectifier are relate to the technical field of fault diagnosis of power electronic equipment, and provided to implement identification and location of an open-circuit fault of a power switching device thereof. A deviation between an expected value and an actual value of a phase-to-phase voltage is adopted as a diagnosis variable. The diagnosis variable is calculated by adopting a screening technique, thereby reducing calculation error to ensure accuracy of diagnosis. Only existing voltage current signals in a control system of the rectifier are required to calculate the diagnosis variable, so no additional hardware is required and low-cost fault diagnosis can be implemented. Different voltage thresholds are adopted for different fault characteristic sections, and the voltage thresholds are updated in real time according to a direct current side voltage, which improves diagnosis speed while ensuring higher robustness.
