The invention relates to an NPC three-level
inverter fault diagnosis method based on improved-treelet transformation. The NPC three-level
inverter fault diagnosis method comprises the steps of: constructing an NPC three-level
inverter circuit
simulation model, simulating a fault process, measuring a
voltage waveform of a bridge arm and using the
voltage waveform as a fault
signal; decomposing thefault
signal into a plurality of IMFs components; carrying out Hilbert transformation on each IMFs component to obtain
time frequency distribution and an amplitude of the IMFs component, and selectingthe first eight IMFs components;
fitting out an envelope
signal by using envelope analysis, and screening out fault characteristic parameters; carrying out optimization on treelet transformation by aGaussian kernel function, and generating characteristic vector samples which are independent of each other; and dividing sample data into a
training set and a
test set according to a ratio of 3:7, wherein the
training set is used for constructing an
SVM classifier model, and the
test set is used for actually diagnosing a circuit fault. According to the invention, EEMD is adopted to decompose thefault signal, then Hilbert transformation is combined, and more
frequency domain characteristics are collected; and the NPC three-level inverter fault diagnosis method is more suitable for processinga nonlinear and non-stationary signal generated by the three-level inverter circuit fault.0
