Power electronic converter reliability and prognosis review focusing on power switch module failures
Abstract
The current trend is to go for more electric systems that rely extensively on power electronics such as EVs/HEVs and electric aircrafts, along with an increased use of renewable energy resources and variable speed motor drives. However, some field failure reports have revealed that power electronic converters represent the weakest point in these systems. A significant percentage of system failures are due to power electronic converter failures, …
