[0039] The beneficial effects of the application are as follows:
[0040] (1) Improve fault diagnosis capability

[0042] (2) Accurately grasp the device state and optimize the maintenance mode
[0043] Combined with device-level aging models and multi-physical field coupling analysis, not only can the fault type be identified, but also the remaining use state of key power devices such as IGBT can be accurately judged, so that maintenance work can be changed from regular blind maintenance to accurate maintenance based on the actual state of the device, reducing unnecessary downtime and spare parts consumption.

[0081] In actual application, the electro-thermal-stress coupling model:
[0082] The switching loss calculation adopts the energy method: the turn-on energy Eon and the turn-off energy Eoff of the IGBT at a switching frequency of 10 kHz are simulated by twin simulation, and the instantaneous switching loss (Psw=(Eon+Eoff)×fsw) is calculated combined with the current and voltage values; the conduction loss is calculated by the product of the conduction voltage drop Vce(sat) and the conduction current Ic (Pcond=Vce(sat)×Ic×D, D is the duty cycle).
[0083] The heat dissipation condition simulation: the wind speed (0.5 m / s) and the environmental temperature (30℃) of the heat dissipation fin are input into the thermal resistance network to calculate the junction temperature Tj=Ptotal×(Rth(j-c)+Rth(c-s)+Rth(s-a))+Ta, wherein Ptotal is the total loss.

[0101] Single tube open circuit: Set the IGBT on-resistance to 1MΩ;
[0102] Abnormal drive signal: reduce the gate voltage from 15V to 12V (resulting in an increase of 50ns in turn-on delay);
[0103] Deterioration of heat dissipation capacity: Increase the heat sink thermal resistance Rth(sa) from 10K / W to 20K / W (simulating the effect of dust accumulation).
[0104] Deviation feature extraction unit:

[0115] Data is collected every 5 minutes: DC bus voltage estimation value Udc_sim output by the twin, actual sensor measurement value Udc_meas;
[0116] The deviation amount ΔUdc = |Udc_sim-Udc_meas| is calculated, and if ΔUdc>2V (exceeding the allowable error 1%), the bus parasitic resistance in the twin is adjusted (from 0.1Ω to 0.15Ω);
[0117] Temperature calibration: if the junction temperature estimation value Tj_sim and the infrared temperature Tj_meas deviate by >5℃, the thermal resistance parameter is adjusted in proportion (Rth(j-c)=Rth(j-c)×(Tj_sim-Ta) / (Tj_meas-Ta), Ta is the ambient temperature).
[0118] The incremental learning unit:
[0119] When a new fault (such as a 5% linearity deviation of the current sensor, which is not in the preset library) is detected, data collection is triggered: the current, voltage, and temperature data 10 minutes before the fault occurs are recorded (sampling rate 10kHz);
[0120] A transfer learning algorithm (such as Fine-tuning) is used: the first two layers of weights of the 1D-CNN are frozen, only the parameters of the fully connected layer are updated, and the model is trained with new fault data (500 samples) to add the recognition ability of the model to the fault (the recognition accuracy is improved from 0 to more than 90%).

[0126] When it is predicted that the remaining life of IGBT2 is less than 500 hours, an instruction is sent to the elevator main control:
[0127] Output power limitation: reduce the maximum torque from 300 N·m to 240 N·m;
[0128] Redundant phase switching: activate the standby IGBT bridge arm (usually in standby state), and switch to four-phase topology through contactor;

[0136] Decide on the nearest safe floor: calculate the running time to the 6th floor (10 m away) and the 4th floor (8 m away), and select the 4th floor as the stopping target;
[0137] During fault-tolerant operation, real-time feedback output torque to the main control (to ensure that it does not exceed the speed limiter threshold), and monitor the door lock signal (if disconnected, immediately trigger emergency braking).

[0142] Temperature fluctuation amplitude: maximum-minimum value of IGBT junction temperature (such as "60-120℃"), and 2 bytes are used for transmission;
[0143] Switching time deviation: difference between actual turn-on time and ideal value (such as "+50ns"), and 1 byte is used for transmission.
[0144] Fault diagnosis result: encoded as 2 bytes (high 8 bits represent fault type, such as 0x03 representing IGBT open circuit; low 8 bits represent confidence, such as 0x9A representing 97%).
[0145] Model calibration parameter: adjustment value of thermal resistance Rth(j-c) (such as "+0.05K / W"), and 2 bytes are used for transmission.
[0146] Data transmission frequency: once every 30 seconds in normal operation, real-time transmission in fault, single message length <10 bytes, and daily data volume <5MB (adapted to the weak network environment of the elevator shaft).
[0147] Further, the elevator inverter fault pre-diagnosis and fault-tolerant control method based on digital twinning includes the following steps:
[0148] S1. Constructing a high-fidelity digital twin of the elevator inverter, the digital twin fuses an electro-thermal-stress coupling model, a device-level aging model, a parasitic parameter influence model and a driving circuit and protection logic model;
[0149] S2. Injecting a preset fault mode into the digital twin to obtain ideal state data simulated by the digital twin, comparing actual sensing data of the physical system to obtain a deviation signal, extracting early fault features based on the deviation signal, identifying the fault type and predicting the remaining service life of the key power device;
[0150] S3. Automatically calibrating model parameters of the digital twin according to the deviation between output data of the digital twin and actual sensing data of the physical system, and updating the diagnosis model based on physical system data when a new fault mode is detected;
[0151] S4. Perform active fault-tolerant control according to the pre-diagnosis result of step S2, or switch to the preset fault-tolerant control algorithm when a fault occurs, and make a decision on the optimal stopping scheme in cooperation with the elevator main control system;
[0152] S5. Adopt an edge-cloud collaborative architecture, deploy high-precision twin modeling and complex training tasks in the cloud, and deploy lightweight diagnosis and basic fault-tolerant logic on the local controller of the elevator, and realize data synchronization through a low-bandwidth protocol;
[0153] In actual application, step S1:
[0154] A "multi-domain model fusion" method is used to construct the digital twin:
[0155] Circuit domain: Build the main circuit of the inverter (including IGBT, freewheeling diode, DC bus capacitor) in PLECS, input rated parameters (such as DC voltage 380V, switching frequency 10kHz);
[0156] Thermal domain: Establish a three-dimensional heat dissipation model of the IGBT module (including fin size 100×80×20mm, fin pitch 5mm) in ANSYS Icepak, and input the loss data calculated by the circuit domain as the heat source;
[0157] Aging domain: Compile the parameter degradation formula obtained from the accelerated aging experiment (such as Vth=5-0.0001×N) into C code, and embed it into the twin through the S function interface of MATLAB / Simulink;
[0158] Drive and protection domain: Build a behavioral model of the drive chip (such as IR2110) in Simulink, and reproduce the hardware logic of DESAT detection (including comparator threshold, delay circuit).
[0159] Step S2:
[0160] Fault injection: Inject a "30% attenuation of capacitor capacitance" fault through the API interface of the twin, and output an ideal three-phase current waveform (amplitude 50A, THD=1% of sinusoidal degree);
[0161] Deviation calculation: Collect the Hall sensor current data of the physical system (sampling rate 20kHz), and calculate the instantaneous deviation from the ideal waveform (such as deviation 0.5A at t=10ms);
[0162] Feature extraction: Perform EMD decomposition on the deviation signal to obtain 5 intrinsic mode functions (IMF), and calculate the energy entropy of each IMF as a feature;
[0163] Diagnosis and prediction: Input the features into the LSTM network, and output the fault type "capacitor aging" and the remaining life "1200 hours".
[0164] Step S3:
[0165] Parameter calibration: Start calibration at 2 a.m. (low load period of elevator), if the estimated value of twin voltage deviates from the actual value by >2%, adjust the bus parasitic resistance (from 0.05Ω to 0.06Ω);
[0166] New fault learning: When detecting "drive optocoupler delay increase" (not in the preset library), collect 100 sets of fault data, update the classification layer parameters of the 1D-CNN model through incremental learning, and realize the identification of the fault.
[0167] Step S4:
[0168] Active fault tolerance: If step S2 predicts "B-phase IGBT remaining life <500 hours", control the elevator to enter "light load mode" (load limit 80%), and notify the maintenance at the same time;
[0169] Seamless switching: If a sudden A-phase IGBT short circuit occurs, trigger the hardware protection within 0.5ms, switch to the fault-tolerant modulation strategy (such as based on zero sequence voltage injection) within 2ms, and cooperate with the main control to select the nearest 3rd floor stop (currently at the 5th floor and descending).
[0170] Step S5:
[0171] Cloud deployment: Aliyun server runs twin reconstruction program (model is updated every morning), trains LSTM life prediction model (once a week);
[0172] Edge deployment: Local PLC (such as Siemens S7-1200) of the elevator runs lightweight diagnosis model (inference time <10ms);
[0173] Communication: Use LoRa protocol to transmit data, only send fault codes (such as "F03" represents IGBT open circuit) and characteristic values (such as temperature fluctuation amplitude "5℃"), every 30 seconds, single data volume <50 bytes.
[0174] As a further scheme of the application: in step S1, the construction process of the electro-thermal-stress coupling model includes: based on the datasheet parameters and experimental data of IGBT or MOSFET, a loss calculation model is established to obtain switching loss and conduction loss; combining the thermal resistance network model of the heat dissipation structure, the loss data is converted into a junction temperature fluctuation curve; based on the fatigue accumulation theory, the thermal stress cycle number is calculated according to the junction temperature fluctuation amplitude and frequency;
[0175] In practical application,
[0176] Loss calculation model construction:
[0177] Switching loss: According to the Eon-Ic, Eoff-Vce curve in the IGBT datasheet (such as Infineon FF450R12ME4), the switching energy calculation formula is obtained by interpolation fitting: Eon = 0.002 * Ic + 0.0001 * Vce (Ic unit A, Vce unit V), and the switching loss Psw = (Eon + Eoff) * fsw (fsw = 10 kHz);
[0178] Conduction loss: Based on the conduction voltage drop Vce(sat) = 1.2 + 0.001 * Ic (measured data fitting), the Pcond = Vce(sat) * Ic * D (D is the duty cycle, take 0.5) is calculated.
[0179] Thermal resistance network model construction:
[0180] Establish a three-level thermal resistance network: junction to shell Rth(j-c) = 0.5 K / W (datasheet value), shell to heat sink Rth(c-s) = 0.2 K / W (thermal grease), heat sink to environment Rth(s-a) = 10 K / W (measured);
[0181] Junction temperature calculation: Tj = (Psw + Pcond) * (Rth(j-c) + Rth(c-s) + Rth(s-a)) + Ta (Ta = 30℃), the junction temperature fluctuation curve (such as from 60℃ to 110℃, period 10 seconds) is obtained.
[0182] Thermal stress cycle calculation:
[0183] Based on the Coffin-Manson model: Nf = A * (ΔTj)^B (A = 1e10, B = -2.5, experimental fitting);
[0184] Calculate the number of daily thermal stress cycles: the elevator starts and stops 10 times per hour, each time causing ΔTj = 50℃, 240 times per day, and the cumulative damage D = 240 / Nf.
[0185] As a further scheme of the application: in step S2, the process of extracting early fault features includes: wavelet packet decomposition of the deviation signal to obtain sub-signals of different frequency bands, and calculation of the energy entropy of each sub-signal as the initial feature; input the initial feature into the 1D-CNN network, extract the deep layer feature through the convolution layer and the pooling layer, and obtain the feature vector capable of representing the early weak fault;
[0186] In practical application, wavelet packet decomposition:
[0187] The deviation signal is a current difference sequence (length 1024 points, sampling rate 10 kHz), and db4 wavelet basis is used for 3-layer decomposition to obtain 8 sub-signals (frequency band 0-1.25kHz to 8.75-10kHz);
[0188] Calculate the energy entropy of each sub-signal: H = -∑(pi x log2(pi)), where pi is the energy proportion of the ith sub-signal (such as the 3rd sub-signal energy proportion 0.2, H = 0.72), to obtain an 8-dimensional initial feature.
[0189] 1D-CNN feature extraction:
[0190] Network structure: input layer (8-dimensional feature) → convolutional layer 1 (16 3x1 convolutional kernels, ReLU activation) → pooling layer 1 (2x1 max pooling) → convolutional layer 2 (32 3x1 convolutional kernels) → pooling layer 2 (2x1 max pooling) → fully connected layer (16 neurons);
[0191] Output: 16-dimensional deep feature vector (such as [0.12, 0.35,..., 0.08]), where the 5th feature has a sensitivity of 90% to "IGBT slight aging" (5% increase in on-resistance).
[0192] As a further scheme of the application: in step S4, the active fault-tolerant control includes: when it is predicted that the remaining service life of a certain phase IGBT is lower than a preset threshold, controlling the elevator to enter a derated operation mode, reducing the output torque to 70%-80% of the rated value, and activating the drive signal of the redundant phase to prepare for topology reconstruction; the seamless fault-tolerant switching includes: when an IGBT short-circuit fault is detected, switching to a neutral point offset-based fault-tolerant modulation strategy within 5ms, compensating for the output loss of the fault phase, and maintaining the elevator operation to the nearest floor stop;
[0193] In actual application, the active fault-tolerant control:
[0194] The preset threshold is set to "remaining life < 800 hours", and when it is predicted that the life of the C-phase IGBT is 750 hours:
[0195] Derated operation: by modifying the modulation ratio of SVPWM (from 0.9 to 0.72), the output torque is reduced from 250 N·m to 200 N·m (80% of the rated value);
[0196] Redundant phase activation: send an enable signal to the drive chip of the standby IGBT (raise the gate voltage from 0V to 15V), close the redundant phase contactor (response time < 100ms), and wait for the topology switching instruction.
[0197] Seamless fault-tolerant switching:
[0198] Short-circuit detection: when the DESAT pin voltage > 7V (for 1μs), it is determined that the IGBT is short-circuited, and the gate drive is immediately turned off (within 0.5ms);
[0199] Fault tolerant modulation: switch to neutral point shift strategy within 3ms, distribute the reference voltage of the fault phase (e.g. phase A) to phases B and C (shifted by 1 / 2 of the fault phase voltage), compensate for the unbalance of the output voltage;
[0200] Docking control: communicate with the elevator master, get the current position (7th floor) and speed (1.5m / s), calculate the deceleration curve (acceleration -0.5m / s 2 ), ensure smooth docking to the 6th floor (the nearest safe floor) within 5 seconds, and disconnect the main contactor after docking.
