BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0014] Figure 1 The figure is a structural schematic diagram of the application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0016] Embodiment 1: refer to Figure 1 The online monitoring system adapted to the recycling scenario of SiC power devices described in the embodiments of the application comprises: A state acquisition module: real-time acquisition of key running parameters of SiC power devices, including junction temperature, on-resistance and working current fluctuation; when the acquired parameters exceed the preset warning threshold, it is determined whether subsequent failure trend prediction is needed, and if so, the prediction analysis module is entered; The state acquisition module determines whether the subsequent failure trend prediction process needs to be performed: The deviation of the real-time collected junction temperature, on-state resistance and working current fluctuation from the preset warning threshold is calculated, and the historical operation data and the device aging curve are combined to generate a comprehensive risk score; Real-time acquisition of key operating parameters such as junction temperature, on-state resistance and working current fluctuation of SiC power devices, filtering and denoising of collected data, and corresponding matching of processed values with system preset warning thresholds to form standardized input data sequences required for deviation calculation, calculation of deviation from corresponding warning thresholds for junction temperature, on-state resistance and working current fluctuation, quantification using standardized difference or percentage deviation, and obtaining of deviation quantification values of each indicator under the current operating state, combination of real-time deviation data with historical operation data and device aging characteristic curve, comparison of time series and trend fitting method to form the relative position of the current device state in the historical evolution curve, and obtaining of aging sensitivity and risk contribution of each indicator, and finally weighting and integrating of each indicator deviation and aging sensitivity, using a risk score model to calculate a comprehensive risk score to generate a single quantitative value for determining whether to trigger the subsequent failure trend prediction.

[0017] If the comprehensive risk score is higher than the set prediction trigger threshold, it is determined that the subsequent failure trend prediction needs to be performed; The generated comprehensive risk score is compared with the system set prediction trigger threshold: if the comprehensive risk score is higher than the trigger threshold, it is determined that the device needs to enter the subsequent failure trend prediction module to start the prediction analysis process; if the comprehensive risk score is lower than the trigger threshold, the monitoring mode under the normal operating state is continued, and the deviation calculation and risk score are periodically updated.

[0018] If the comprehensive risk score is lower than the set threshold, the normal monitoring mode is continued; After each calculation is completed, the real-time deviation, comprehensive risk score and determination result are recorded to the monitoring system database, and are transmitted to the subsequent prediction analysis module or normal monitoring module through the interface to realize data continuity and state tracking.

[0019] Prediction analysis module: based on the collected operating parameters, a device performance change curve is constructed, the curve type and fluctuation trend are analyzed, and the future change of junction temperature and on-state resistance is predicted to determine whether the device has a potential failure risk; if the prediction result shows that there is a potential failure trend, it enters the regulation demand analysis module; The process of constructing a device performance change curve in the prediction analysis module based on the collected operating parameters is: Key points of junction temperature, on-state resistance and current fluctuation are extracted from the continuously collected time series data; The continuously collected SiC power device operating parameter time series data, including junction temperature, on-state resistance and operating current fluctuation, are recorded point by point according to fixed sampling interval, key points are extracted by numerical division and feature detection algorithm, including local extreme value, inflection point and mutation point, to provide original data nodes for subsequent curve generation.

[0020] Smooth filtering, interpolation and trend fitting methods are used to generate multi-parameter performance change curves. The extracted key point data is subjected to smooth filtering processing, moving average, Savitzky-Golay filtering or exponential smoothing method is used to reduce instantaneous noise interference, interpolation algorithm is applied to complete the data points for missing sampling or abnormal interval data, to ensure the continuity of the curve and the integrity of the time series, the junction temperature, on-state resistance and operating current fluctuation parameters are subjected to trend fitting, linear regression, piecewise linear fitting or nonlinear curve fitting method is used to generate multi-parameter performance change curves, each curve retains time series information and numerical amplitude, forming a complete performance curve data set that can be used for subsequent analysis.

[0021] Each performance curve is subjected to time segmentation analysis to identify fluctuation peak value, trend slope and abnormal deviation interval. Each generated performance curve is subjected to fixed time window or adaptive segmentation processing to identify fluctuation peak value, slope and change rate of each segment. Local trend information is extracted using statistical methods or sliding window analysis to provide a basis for abnormal deviation interval identification. Based on the segmentation analysis results, the deviation amount of the curve change amplitude from the preset threshold in each time interval is calculated, and the interval exceeding the threshold is marked as an abnormal deviation interval. The abnormal interval, fluctuation characteristics and trend parameters of each curve are recorded in a structured manner to provide input data for subsequent failure trend prediction.

[0022] The analysis curve type and fluctuation trend process in the prediction analysis module is as follows: The performance change curves are classified and processed to identify linear rise, exponential growth, periodic oscillation and mutation. The generated performance change curves are input into the curve feature extraction module according to time sequence, the slope change characteristics and acceleration characteristics of the curve in different time intervals are extracted by using first derivative, second derivative and curvature calculation, the curve is classified according to the matching degree of the feature parameters and the preset mode template, and the curve types including linear rise, exponential growth, periodic oscillation and instantaneous mutation are identified. For curves with mixed modes, the curve type labels of each time interval are labeled by segment matching method.

[0023] The fluctuation amplitude, frequency and change rate are calculated by statistical analysis and machine learning method to judge the stability of the device operating state. On the basis of the classified curves, statistical analysis methods are used to calculate the fluctuation amplitude, fluctuation frequency and change rate of the curves. For multi-parameter curves, the fluctuation characteristics of the junction temperature, on-resistance and working current fluctuation are calculated respectively, and are stored uniformly through a multi-dimensional feature vector. If necessary, the frequency domain analysis method is called to extract the implicit periodic characteristics to supplement the time domain statistical results.

[0024] If the curve type and fluctuation trend show an abnormal pattern, it is marked as a potential failure interval and enters the potential failure risk prediction link; The curve type and fluctuation feature vector of each time interval are input into the pattern matching and difference detection algorithm, the deviation degree from the normal operation mode template is calculated, and for the time interval whose deviation degree exceeds the preset threshold, the interval marking operation is performed, the interval is recorded as the input data of potential failure analysis, and the interval index and corresponding feature vector are transmitted to the potential failure risk prediction module to support the subsequent prediction calculation process.

[0025] The process of determining whether the device has a potential failure risk in the prediction analysis module is: Based on the fluctuation amplitude and trend rate of the performance change curve, combined with the device manufacturing characteristics and historical life data, the potential failure index is calculated; The fluctuation amplitude, trend rate and other characteristic parameters extracted from the performance change curve are matched with the manufacturing characteristic parameters and historical life data of the device. A weighted feature fusion method is used to combine the time domain features and frequency domain features to form a unified feature vector input into the failure risk calculation model. The model outputs a quantitative potential failure index through a regression algorithm or a multi-dimensional mapping function, which is used to represent the closeness between the current operating state and the known failure mode.

[0026] If the potential failure index exceeds the preset threshold, it is determined that the device has a potential failure risk, and the regulation demand analysis is triggered; The calculated potential failure index is compared with the preset risk judgment threshold one by one, and the comparison process is executed under the control of numerical accuracy to ensure the stability and consistency of the threshold judgment. When the potential failure index is higher than the threshold in the continuous sampling period, a risk trigger flag is generated, and the flag is stored with the current collected data as the input condition of the subsequent regulation demand analysis module.

[0027] If the potential failure index does not exceed the threshold, the normal monitoring state is maintained and the data collection continues; When the potential failure index is lower than the preset threshold in the continuous sampling period, the risk flag is set to a non-trigger state, and the running feature data of this time period is recorded in the system to update the normal operation mode reference library. The system continues to perform real-time data collection and feature updating operations to ensure that the subsequent analysis can be based on the latest operating state.

[0028] The regulation analysis module: combine the parallel operation state of the device and the historical abnormal fluctuation event, judge whether it is necessary to monitor or load regulation for a specific module, if necessary, enter the risk correlation analysis module; The process of combining the parallel operation state of the device and the historical abnormal fluctuation event in the regulation analysis module is: Obtain the real-time operation parameters of each SiC device in the same power module, and analyze the load distribution and temperature difference between the parallel devices; Synchronize the real-time operation parameters from each SiC power device in the same power module, including junction temperature, on-resistance, working current and switching loss data. After aligning the collected data according to the time stamp, the load distribution calculation between parallel devices is performed, and by comparing the device output current proportion, power loss proportion and junction temperature difference, the electrical and thermal distribution characteristics under parallel operation state are determined. The distribution characteristics are stored in a multi-dimensional matrix form for subsequent risk aggregation analysis.

[0029] Combine the historical abnormal event database to assess whether the current device fluctuation is consistent with the past failure mode; Call the historical abnormal event database to retrieve records similar to the current device operation characteristics. The matching process is based on a multi-parameter similarity calculation method, which calculates the similarity score between the key feature vector of the current collected data and the feature vector stored in the database, and labels the corresponding known failure mode type, occurrence frequency and associated operating environment conditions in the matching result.

[0030] Generate a module-level risk aggregation score to determine whether a specific device or module needs to be monitored; Fuse the parallel device operation difference analysis results and the matching results of historical abnormal events to generate a module-level risk aggregation score. The fusion method is based on a weighted scoring model, which gives different weights to real-time operation state characteristics and historical event similarity characteristics to obtain a single quantitative result. The score result is stored in the risk assessment data structure of the system and used as an input parameter for subsequent key monitoring decision logic.

[0031] The process of determining whether a specific module needs to be monitored or load regulated in the regulation analysis module is: Determine whether a single device or module has an overload or thermal stress concentration risk based on the module-level risk aggregation score and real-time load conditions; The risk aggregation score data of the current module is called from the risk assessment subsystem, and the real-time load parameters of each parallel SiC device in the module are extracted from the real-time monitoring database, including instantaneous current value, average power and junction temperature distribution, the risk aggregation score is associated and mapped to the same analysis table with the real-time load parameters by using the data matching program, so as to perform unified comparison processing in the same calculation period, calculate the deviation rate of the load proportion of each device from its rated bearing capacity, and generate a thermal distribution matrix according to the temperature sensor data, locate the temperature peak area and current density concentration area through matrix analysis algorithm, form the identification marker matrix of overload and thermal stress concentration risk, and cross verify with the risk aggregation score.

[0032] If the risk score exceeds the set threshold, mark the module as a key monitoring object and generate a load regulation suggestion; The risk score trigger threshold is read from the system parameter library, and the numerical comparison is performed with the current module risk score, when the risk score is greater than or equal to the threshold, the device ID and related risk parameters of the module are written into the key monitoring object list and updated to the monitoring task scheduling table, at the same time, the load optimization algorithm is called, the load regulation suggestion table is generated based on the existing running state, including current redistribution scheme, power limitation parameter and temperature equalization strategy, and the suggestion table is sent to the control execution unit for scheduling execution.

[0033] If the risk score is lower than the threshold, the normal monitoring and load distribution strategy is maintained; When the risk score is less than the threshold, the module continues to be registered in the normal monitoring task queue, the original acquisition period, sampling accuracy and data recording rules are maintained, the current load distribution table and power management strategy parameters are called, and the control execution unit is directly issued as a maintenance instruction to ensure that each parallel device operates according to the predetermined distribution ratio, and the risk score calculation and threshold comparison operation are continuously repeated in the subsequent monitoring period to ensure that the state change can be captured in time.

[0034] Risk analysis module: by analyzing the correlation between the sudden change of on-resistance, junction temperature fluctuation, solder layer cavity expansion and bonding interface aging, the influence degree of potential failure trend is determined, and the analysis result is sent to the early warning control module; The correlation analysis process between the sudden change of on-resistance, junction temperature fluctuation, solder layer cavity expansion and bonding interface aging in the risk analysis module is: A device multi-physical quantity correlation model is established, and the on-resistance, junction temperature, solder layer cavity size and bonding interface aging degree are included in the unified analysis framework; In the multi-physical quantity analysis framework, real-time monitoring data of on-state resistance, junction temperature, solder layer cavity size and bonding interface aging degree are collected, time alignment, outlier rejection, data interpolation and smoothing processing are performed to ensure that each parameter is comparable on a unified time sequence, and a correlation model is constructed with a unified data structure to provide basic data support for subsequent causal analysis.

[0035] Statistical correlation analysis and multi-factor regression model are used to evaluate the causal relationship and sensitivity between parameters. Statistical correlation analysis is used to identify the synchronous change characteristics between parameters, and multi-factor regression model is used to quantify the sensitivity and potential causal relationship of on-state resistance change on junction temperature fluctuation, solder layer cavity expansion and bonding interface aging, and to extract the change amplitude, change rate and mutual influence weight of each parameter to provide quantitative basis for risk index generation.

[0036] According to the analysis results, the quantitative risk index of potential failure trend is generated and input into the early warning and control module. The multi-physical quantity correlation analysis results are integrated according to the predefined weight to form the quantitative risk index of potential failure trend, and are input into the early warning and control module in real time to provide continuous data support for subsequent online early warning and control strategy. According to the comparison between the quantitative risk index and the set warning threshold, online early warning signals of high, medium and low levels are automatically generated, and corresponding control instructions are triggered, including power adjustment, load limitation or switch optimization strategy. At the same time, the control execution and feedback data are recorded for continuous update of device state and support for subsequent failure trend tracking.

[0037] Early warning and control module: according to the influence degree of potential failure trend and warning threshold, output online early warning signal and execute control instruction.

[0038] The process of outputting online early warning signal and executing control instruction in the early warning and control module is: Based on the potential failure trend quantitative index generated by the risk correlation analysis module, the real-time running parameters and historical running data of each SiC device and module are combined to calculate the comprehensive risk score. In the early warning and control module, first, the potential failure trend quantitative index generated by the risk correlation analysis module is obtained, and the real-time running parameters of each SiC device and module are collected, including junction temperature, on-state resistance, current load, etc. Time alignment and normalization processing are performed combined with historical running data, then through weight weighting and multi-factor comprehensive analysis method, the comprehensive risk score of each device and module is formed to provide quantitative basis for subsequent risk level determination.

[0039] Compare the comprehensive risk score with the preset multi-level warning threshold to determine the risk level of the device or module, and generate three-level online early warning signals of high risk, medium risk and low risk. The comprehensive risk score is compared with preset multi-level alert thresholds, classified and determined according to high, medium and low risk levels, and corresponding three-level online early warning signals are generated. During the signal generation process, the system records the risk score, trigger time and trigger threshold information of each device and module, and ensures that the signal can be real-time issued to the monitoring interface and automatic control interface, providing executable input for control decision.

[0040] The system simultaneously records the early warning signals, control instructions and execution results to the online monitoring database, forming a closed-loop feedback; The system generates online early warning signals, corresponding control instructions, and control execution status and results, and synchronously writes them into the online monitoring database, completing the closed-loop feedback; at the same time, time stamp labeling and data integrity checking are performed to ensure the traceability and continuity of subsequent analysis, trend tracking and control effect evaluation.
