[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment 1, a portable IGBT module aging parameter detection device is provided, and its circuit topology design and function description are as follows:

[0043] The device is divided into three parts: the first part is the test main circuit and measurement data display part, the components used include AC power socket (i.e. power input socket 14), AC220V-DC12V (AC / DC) switching power supply 1 (i.e. AC / DC power supply), rocker power switch S1 (i.e. power switch 15), output button S4 (self-locking) (i.e. output button 4) and high-voltage relay K1 (i.e. first relay 5), potentiometer, 0-5000V high-voltage power supply module (i.e. power module 7), capacitor C1, voltage digital display (i.e. voltmeter 11), voltage divider 10, microampere current digital display (i.e. current meter). Flow meter 9), output socket 8; the second part is the protection part, the devices used include input side fuse FU1, output side ceramic fuse FU2, discharge button S5 (non-self-locking) (i.e. discharge button 3) and high-voltage relay K2 (i.e. second relay 6), discharge resistor R1; the third part is the control and data transmission interface part, the devices used include control interface board 13, button S6 (i.e. data upload and save button 16), wherein the control interface board includes power conditioning part, voltage conditioning part, ARM chip, Ethernet chip and interface (i.e. network port 12), Modbus interface, USB interface 17 and storage chip.

[0044] In this embodiment 1, the circuit topology principle of the portable IGBT module aging parameter detection device is as follows: an external AC220V power supply is connected, which is converted into DC12V through an AC-DC switching power supply to power the main circuit. When the ship-shaped power switch S1 is closed, the 12V power supply is connected to the main circuit. Press the output button S4, the high-voltage relay K1 coil is energized, the corresponding contacts are attracted, and K1 is closed. The high-voltage adjustable power supply module uses a potentiometer voltage regulation method to achieve an adjustable output voltage of the device between 0 and 5000V. The relationship between the module output voltage and input voltage is shown in formula (1), where U o is the output voltage of the high voltage module, U i = is the input voltage of the high-voltage power supply module. Since a 10kΩ potentiometer is used for voltage regulation, the module's potentiometer voltage regulation reference voltage is 5V. Therefore, the relationship between the module's output voltage and the potentiometer's variable resistance is shown in formula (2), where U o is the output voltage of the high voltage module, and r is the resistance value adjusted by the potentiometer.

[0045] U o =1000·U i (0≤U i ≤5) (1)

[0046]

[0047] The input side of the voltage divider is connected in parallel to the positive and negative ends of the output side of the high-voltage adjustable power supply module, the voltage digital display is connected in parallel to the two ends of the output side of the voltage divider, the power supply is provided by the input voltage AC220V, the voltage digital display is used to display the output voltage value of the device, the microampere-level current digital display is connected in series to the negative pole connection of the high-voltage adjustable power supply module, the power supply is provided by DC12V, and the current digital display is used to display the current value flowing through the IGBT.

[0048] The output voltage after being divided by the voltage divider of the voltage digital display is connected to the voltage conditioning part of the control interface board for collecting its voltage value; the Modbus communication interface of the current digital display is connected to the communication interface of the control interface board for reading the current value; when the control interface board detects that the save data upload button S6 (non-self-locking) is pressed, the test data is transmitted to the host computer software via Ethernet. If a USB flash drive is inserted, it will also be stored in the specified file of the USB flash drive.

[0049] When the output button S4 is disconnected and the high-voltage relay K1 is de-energized and disconnected, the discharge button S5 is pressed, and the coil of the high-voltage relay K2 is energized, the corresponding contacts are attracted, K2 is closed, and the discharge process begins. The purpose of discharge is to prevent the output side of the device from being energized before the next use, which would pose a safety hazard to equipment and personnel. It is worth mentioning that in order to avoid the situation where the discharge button is not closed after the discharge is completed, which may cause an abnormality during the next use, the discharge button S5 adopts a non-self-locking button.

[0050] The ceramic fuses on the input and output sides of the power module are selected with an operating current value of 1A to provide overcurrent protection for various components in the main circuit.

[0051] In summary, this embodiment utilizes the aforementioned device to detect parameters such as the cutoff voltage and cutoff current of the IGBT module, displaying kilovolt-level voltage values ​​and microampere-level current values. This testing takes into account actual operating conditions and the behavior of actual IGBTs. The measured data represents static parameters of the IGBT module under actual application conditions, providing guidance for both IGBT selection and identifying IGBT failures and aging levels during on-site maintenance and repair.

[0052] In this first embodiment, the circuit topology of the portable IGBT aging parameter detection and evaluation device enables adjustable voltages over a wide range of 0 to 5000V, displaying high voltage values ​​and microampere-level current values. It provides high-voltage, discharge, protection, and measurement display functions, meeting the requirements for measuring the cutoff voltage and current of IGBT modules.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment 2, a portable IGBT module aging parameter detection device is provided, and its circuit topology design and function description are as follows:

[0055] The device is divided into three parts: the first part is the test main circuit and measurement data display part, the components used include AC power socket (i.e. power input socket 14), AC220V-DC12V (AC / DC) switching power supply 1 (i.e. AC / DC power supply), rocker power switch S1 (i.e. power switch 15), output button S4 (self-locking) (i.e. output button 4) and high-voltage relay K1 (i.e. first relay 5), potentiometer, 0-5000V high-voltage power supply module (i.e. power module 7), capacitor C1, voltage digital display (i.e. voltmeter 11), voltage divider 10, microampere current digital display (i.e. current meter). Flow meter 9), output socket 8; the second part is the protection part, the devices used include input side fuse FU1, output side ceramic fuse FU2, discharge button S5 (non-self-locking) (i.e. discharge button 3) and high-voltage relay K2 (i.e. second relay 6), discharge resistor R1; the third part is the control and data transmission interface part, the devices used include control interface board 13, button S6 (i.e. data upload and save button 16), wherein the control interface board includes power conditioning part, voltage conditioning part, ARM chip, Ethernet chip and interface (i.e. network port 12), Modbus interface, USB interface 17 and storage chip.

[0056] In this second embodiment, the circuit topology of the portable IGBT module aging parameter detection device is as follows: an external 220V AC power source is connected, converted to 12V DC by an AC-DC switching power supply, and used to power the main circuit. When the rocker-shaped power switch S1 is closed, the 12V power source is connected to the main circuit. Pressing the output button S4 energizes the coil of the high-voltage relay K1, closing the corresponding contacts and closing K1.

[0057] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment 2, the internal circuit of the above-mentioned device is encapsulated in the casing panel. Considering the portability and flexibility of the present device, the casing panel is fixed in a portable suitcase, and space is left on the left side inside the suitcase to store the power cord and alligator clips and their wiring.

[0058] For the IGBT module cut-off voltage parameter detection method, the gate and emitter of the IGBT module are short-circuited, a resistor is connected, and a negative voltage is connected. When the collector current reaches the specified breakdown current value, the corresponding voltage between the IGBT collector and emitter is the cut-off voltage V CES 、V CER 、V CEX .

[0059] In this embodiment 2, the operation method for testing the cut-off voltage of the IGBT module is as follows:

[0060] Return the potentiometer knob to zero, connect the AC220V power supply, and observe whether the voltage on the voltage digital display is 0. If it is not zero, press and hold the discharge button to discharge until the voltage value on the voltage digital display is 0.

[0061] Clamp two alligator clips on the collector and power emitter of the IGBT module, and plug the corresponding wires into the positive and negative poles of the DC output of the device described in this patent. Figure 4 shown.

[0062] Short-circuit the IGBT gate and the auxiliary emitter (connect a resistor and a negative voltage), turn on the power switch, and press the output button.

[0063] Adjust the potentiometer to increase the output voltage and observe the current value of the microampere current digital display. When the IGBT collector current reaches the specified breakdown current, stop applying pressure and record the data in the voltage digital display at this time. This data is the cut-off voltage (V CES 、V CER 、V CEX ).

[0064] After the test is complete, adjust the voltage knob to 0 and press the output button again to disconnect the output. Press and hold the discharge button to discharge. Wait until the voltage on the voltage display reaches 0, then disconnect the wiring. Turn off the power switch and unplug the AC220V power supply cable.

[0065] In this embodiment 2, for the IGBT module cut-off current parameter detection operation method, the gate and emitter of the IGBT module are short-circuited, a resistor is connected, and a negative voltage is connected. When the voltage between the collector and emitter reaches a specified voltage value, the corresponding IGBT collector current is the cut-off current I CES , I CER , I CEX .

[0066] The operation method for testing the cut-off current of the IGBT module is as follows:

[0067] Return the potentiometer knob (i.e., voltage adjustment knob) to zero, connect to AC220V power supply, and observe whether the voltage on the voltage digital display is 0. If it is not zero, press and hold the discharge button to discharge until the voltage value on the voltage digital display is 0.

[0068] Two alligator clips are respectively clamped on the collector electrode and power emitter electrode of the IGBT module, and the corresponding wiring is respectively inserted into the positive and negative poles of the DC output of the device described in this patent.

[0069] Short-circuit the IGBT gate and the auxiliary emitter (connect a resistor and a negative voltage), turn on the power switch, and press the output button.

[0070] Adjust the potentiometer to increase the output voltage of the device described in this patent, observe the voltage value of the voltage digital display, and when the voltage between the collector and emitter of the IGBT reaches the specified voltage value, stop applying the voltage and record the data in the microampere current digital display at this time. This data is the cut-off current (I CES , I CER , I CEX ).

[0071] After the test is completed, adjust the voltage knob to 0 and press the output button again to disconnect the output. Press and hold the discharge button to discharge. Wait until the voltage value on the voltage display reaches 0, then disconnect the wiring. Turn off the power switch and unplug the AC220V power supply cable.

[0072] After each test is completed, press the Save Data button and the data will be uploaded to the computer via Ethernet for storage and analysis. At the same time, if a USB flash drive is inserted, the test data will also be written to the specified file on the USB flash drive in a fixed format.

[0073] In summary, in Example 2, the portable IGBT aging parameter detection and evaluation device described above can be used to detect parameters such as the cut-off voltage and cut-off current of the IGBT module, and can display kilovolt-level voltage values ​​and microampere-level current values. The test takes into account actual operating conditions and the actual IGBT situation. The measured data are static parameters of the IGBT module measured under actual application conditions, which are of guiding significance for the IGBT selection process and the identification of IGBT failure conditions and aging levels during on-site maintenance and operation. It is packaged in a suitcase, and the circuit topology used does not increase the volume too much while being able to complete the measurement and protection of the cut-off current and cut-off voltage of the IGBT module. It is portable and can be flexibly applied to measure the cut-off voltage and cut-off current of the IGBT module according to actual application scenarios. This device does not require complex operation and can support button control to upload each measured data to the computer host software via Ethernet.

[0075] Example 3

[0076] This embodiment 3 provides a transistor aging degree prediction system, including:

[0077] The transistor aging parameter detection device as described in Example 1 or Example 2, used to obtain the cut-off voltage and cut-off current of the transistor to be predicted;

[0078] A prediction module is used to process the obtained cutoff voltage and cutoff current using a pre-trained prediction model to obtain the aging status of the transistor to be predicted in the next time interval; wherein the prediction model is trained by a training set, and the training set includes multiple groups of data, wherein each group of data includes a set of cutoff voltage and cutoff current, and a label indicating the aging status of the transistor corresponding to the set of cutoff voltage and cutoff current.

[0079] In this embodiment 3, the transistor aging degree prediction system described above is used to implement a transistor aging degree prediction method, including:

[0080] Obtaining a cutoff voltage and a cutoff current of a transistor to be predicted;

[0081] The obtained cutoff voltage and cutoff current are processed using a pre-trained prediction model to obtain the aging status of the transistor to be predicted in the next time interval; wherein the prediction model is trained by a training set, and the training set includes multiple groups of data, wherein each group of data includes a set of cutoff voltage and cutoff current, and a label that marks the aging status of the transistor corresponding to the set of cutoff voltage and cutoff current.

[0082] Specifically, in this embodiment 3, the cutoff voltage and cutoff current of the IGBT at different aging levels throughout its life cycle are detected by the portable IGBT aging parameter detection and evaluation device, and the parameters detected each time are uploaded to the computer host via Ethernet. Data are selected according to a regular pattern of equal time intervals throughout the life cycle as a representation of different aging levels, 80% of the cutoff voltage and cutoff current data are used as a training set, and 20% of the data are used as a validation set. The cutoff voltage VCES and cutoff current ICES are used as inputs to the model, and the outputs are the cutoff voltage VCES and cutoff current ICES values ​​for the next time interval in the future. At the same time, the output is put into the classifier model for classification to determine whether the aging status of the IGBT module in the next time interval is qualified.

[0083] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the IGBT aging degree prediction and management method based on cut-off voltage and cut-off current is as follows:

[0084] Two independent LSTM time series prediction networks are used to predict the IGBT module cut-off voltage V for the next time interval. CES and cut-off current I CES Make predictions, such as Figure 6 As shown. Its input x1 t is the IGBT cut-off voltage V at different times CES Value, x2 t IGBT cut-off current I at different times CES Numeric value; the output is the prediction result, is the IGBT cut-off voltage V of the next time series CES Numerical value, IGBT cut-off current I CES The number of hidden neurons depends on the length N of the time series of the selected data. It needs to be determined according to the specific actual test situation. Here we only explain the method.

[0085] The data selected at a certain time interval are sorted according to the time series and normalized. The normalization formula used in this method is:

[0086]

[0087] Where min is the minimum value in the data, and max is the maximum value in the data.

[0088] The output prediction result restoration formula is:

[0089]

[0090] The LSTM network calculation process for predicting the IGBT cut-off voltage and cut-off current is as follows:

[0091] First, set an initial hidden state h10, h20 and cell state C10, C20, and use the value of the random generator function, x1 t and x2 t are the cut-off voltage and cut-off current values ​​of the IGBT in the t-th time series respectively; the outputs f11 and f21 of the forget gate in the cut-off voltage and cut-off current networks are solved respectively. The activation function of the solution process is selected as the sigmoid function, so the expressions of f11 and f21 are shown in Equations (5) and (6).

[0092] f11=σ(W1 f ×h10+U1 f ×x11+b1 f ) (5)

[0093] f21=σ(W2 f×h20+U2 f ×x21+b2 f ) (6)

[0094] Among them W1 f , W2 f , U1 f , U2 f , b1 f , b2 f are the coefficients and bias of the linear relationship, and σ is the sigmoid activation function.

[0095] The input gate consists of two parts. The outputs of the first part are i11 and i21, and the outputs of the second part are a11 and a21. The activation function used in the first part is the sigmoid function, and the activation function used in the second part is the tanh function. The output expressions of the two parts of the input gate are shown in Equations (7)-(10).

[0096] i11=σ(W1 i ×h10+U1 i ×x11+b1 i ) (7)

[0097] i21=σ(W2 i ×h20+U2 i ×x21+b2 i ) (8)

[0098] a11=tanh(W1 a ×h10+U1 a ×x11+b1 a ) (9)

[0099] a21=tanh(W2 a ×h20+U2 a ×x21+b2 a ) (10)

[0100] Among them W1 i , W2 i , U1 i , U2 i , b1 i , b2 i , W1 a , W2a, U1 a , U2 a , b1 a , b2 a are the coefficients and bias of the linear relationship, and σ is the sigmoid activation function.

[0101] The output results of the forget gate and input gate will act on the cell states C1 and C2. The cell state expression of the first time data is shown in formula (11) (12).

[0102] C11=C10⊙f11+i11⊙a11 (11)

[0103] C21=C20⊙f21+i21⊙a21 (12)

[0104] where ⊙ is the Hadamard product.

[0105] The hidden states h11 and h21 consist of two parts. The first part is the output gate values ​​o11 and o21, which are determined by the hidden state at the previous time and the IGBT cut-off voltage and cut-off current at the current time. Its expressions are shown in Equations (13) and (14). The second part consists of the cell state and the tanh activation function.

[0106] o11=σ(W1 o ×h10+U1 o ×x11+b1 o ) (13)

[0107] o21=σ(W2 o ×h20+U2 o ×x21+b2 o ) (14)

[0108] Among them W1 o , W2 o , U1 o , U2 o , b1 o , b2 o , W1 a , W2a, U1 a , U2 a , b1 a , b2 a are the coefficients and bias of the linear relationship, and σ is the sigmoid activation function.

[0109] Therefore, the expressions of hidden states h11 and h21 can be obtained as shown in Equations (15) and (16).

[0110] h11=o11⊙tanh(C11) (15)

[0111] h21=o21⊙tanh(C21) (16)

[0112] After calculating the hidden state and cell state of the first time, the IGBT cut-off voltage and cut-off current network of each other time series are calculated according to the above calculation process. After N times of calculation, the IGBT cut-off voltage V under the current time series t can be obtained. CES and cut-off current I CES The next time series normalized forecast value of .

[0113] Assuming the current time is t, the predicted output value expressions are shown in equations (17) and (18).

[0115]

[0116] in is the IGBT cut-off voltage V at the current time t CES and cut-off current I CES The next time series normalized forecast value, V1, V2, b1, b2 are the coefficients of the linear relationship. σ is the sigmoid activation function.

[0117] The loss function is obtained by comparing the output prediction function with the actual value. The gradient descent method is used on the loss function to obtain the gradient calculation formula of each parameter. The parameters are continuously updated and iterated until the error requirements are met. Finally, the IGBT cut-off voltage V at the same time interval can be obtained. CES and cut-off current I CES The LSTM prediction model uses a time series as input and outputs the normalized predicted values ​​of the IGBT cut-off voltage and cut-off current in the next time series. Because the loss function expression needs to be selected based on actual conditions, this method only describes the backpropagation process.

[0118] The normalized predicted IGBT cutoff voltage and current values ​​are restored using Equation (4). Combined with the parameter judgment criteria, the restored predicted values ​​are classified and evaluated using a supervised learning classification method. The specific method needs to be determined based on the prediction data and the comparison of classification results. This embodiment does not provide a detailed description of the classification method. Finally, the host computer output displays the probability of whether the next time series IGBT aging degree meets the standard.

[0119] In summary, the IGBT aging degree prediction and management method based on cut-off voltage and cut-off current described in Example 3 can use a series of time series consisting of the measured IGBT cut-off voltage and cut-off current to predict the IGBT cut-off voltage and cut-off current of the next time series using a two-layer LSTM network method, and classify and evaluate them, thereby predicting and evaluating the probability of IGBT aging degree in the next time series.
