[0040] The following further details the present invention in conjunction with the drawings.
[0041] An IGBT aging cycle test method for a typical mission profile provided by the present invention, the specific process of the embodiment is as shown in the appendix Figure 1 and the specific steps are as follows:
[0042] Step 1, collect the theoretical energy distribution of the target new energy power station on a long time scale. The theoretical energy distribution of wind power generation includes the available wind speed ( Figure 2)), Photovoltaic power generation utilizes available sunlight ( Figure 3 )), Wind turbine power curve ( Figure 4 )), Photovoltaic power generation power and solar radiation intensity comparison curve ( Figure 5 ).
[0043] Step 2, Taking a wind farm as an example, according to the available wind speed statistical results in Step 1 and the long-term wind speed distribution statistical curve, extract the daily wind speed change curve of the target wind farm within a long time scale (within 1 year) (for example, the wind speed on a certain day is as Figure 6 shown), and obtain the daily wind speed change curve on a long time scale. If taking a photovoltaic power station as an example, then obtain the daily sunlight change curve on a long time scale in the same way.
[0044] Step 3, Using the daily wind speed change curve within 1 year obtained in Step 2, conduct a probability density function (PDF) analysis on the long-term wind measurement data, calculate the most probable wind speed distribution at different times within a day, and respectively fit the monthly average daily wind speed change curve WS m , seasonal average daily wind speed change curve WS s and annual average daily wind speed change curve WS a . Similarly, if taking a photovoltaic power station as an example, then respectively fit the monthly average daily sunlight change curve SL m , seasonal average daily sunlight change curve SL s and annual average daily sunlight change curve SL a in the same way.
[0045] Step 4, According to the unit power curve collected in Step 1 and the monthly average daily wind speed change curve WS m , seasonal average daily wind speed change curve WS s , annual average daily wind speed change curve WS a , use the cubic spline interpolation method to calculate the corresponding monthly average daily power change curve P m , seasonal average daily power change curve P s , annual average daily power change curve P a . Similarly, if taking a photovoltaic power station as an example, also use the cubic spline interpolation method to calculate the corresponding monthly average daily power change curve P m , seasonal average daily power change curve P s , annual average daily power change curve P a .
[0046] Step 5, According to the monthly average daily power change curve P m calculated in Step 4 and the seasonal average daily power change curve Ps 1. The annual average daily power variation curve P a , combined with the working current-power curve of the wind turbine generator, uses the cubic spline interpolation method to calculate the monthly average daily working current variation curve I of the IGBT m , the quarterly average daily working current variation curve I s , the annual average daily working current variation curve I a . Similarly, taking a photovoltaic power station as an example, combined with the curve of the photovoltaic power generation power versus the solar radiation intensity, uses the cubic spline interpolation method to calculate the monthly average daily working current variation curve I of the IGBT m , the quarterly average daily working current variation curve I s , the annual average daily working current variation curve I a .
[0047] Step 6. Take the monthly average daily working current variation curve I of the IGBT obtained in Step 5 m , the quarterly average daily working current variation curve I s , the annual average daily working current variation curve I a as the typical mission profile of the IGBT, and smooth the three types of curves respectively based on the Savitzky-Golay smoothing filtering method
[0048] Taking the monthly average daily working current variation curve I m as an example, the specific method of smoothing is as follows
[0049] I m as a time series contains N points. To reduce the highest degree of the fitting polynomial, divide the time series I m into l subsequences, then there is
[0050] I m =[I m-1 , I m-2 ,..., I m-i ,...I m-l
[0051] wherein, I m-1 , I m-2 ,..., I m-i ,...I m-l sequence contains 2q + 1 points. Taking I m-i as an example, assume
[0052] I m-i = I(x);
[0053] x ∈ [-q, q]
[0054] Then there is
[0055] Im-i = I(x) = [i -q , i -q+1 ,..., i0,..., i q-1 , i q
[0056] In the above formula, i -q , i -q+1 ,..., i0,..., i q-1 , i q are 2q + 1 data points of the subsequence I m-i .
[0057] Step 7, construct an nth-order polynomial f(x) to fit the subsequence I obtained in Step 6 m-i , and this polynomial can be expressed as:
[0058]
[0059] where f(x) is the finally fitted nth-order polynomial, and a k is the kth-order leading coefficient.
[0060] Step 8, calculate the least squares fitting residual E(q) between the polynomial f(x) and the original sequence I(x), and the specific calculation method is as follows:
[0061]
[0062] Step 9, to minimize the least squares residual E(q) obtained in Step 8, let the partial derivatives of the residual E(q) with respect to each leading coefficient be 0, that is:
[0063]
[0064] Simplify the above formula to obtain:
[0065]
[0066] Step 10, for the equation obtained in Step 9, introduce the vector A and the square matrix B, and the calculation methods of the vector A and the square matrix B are as follows:
[0067] A = {x r}; r = 0, 1, 2,..., n - 1, n
[0068] B = A T × A
[0069] Then, according to the above formula, it can be calculated that:
[0070]
[0071] Step 11, based on the vector A and the square matrix B obtained in Step 10, further calculate:
[0072] Ba = (A T × A)a = A T x;
[0073] a = (A T × A) -1 · A T x = Hx;
[0074] Wherein,
[0075] a = [a0, a1, a2,..., a n
[0076] x = [1, x, x 2 ,..., x r ,..., x n
[0077] Then H is the convolution coefficient sought.
[0078] Step 12, repeat Steps 7 to 11 to calculate the polynomial fitting result f m of the time series I m to complete curve smoothing.
[0079] Step 13, use the same method to complete the curve smoothing of the time series I s and the time series I a to obtain the polynomial fitting results f s and f a .
[0080] Step 14, use the smoothed curves f m , f s and f a obtained in Step 13 as the typical mission profiles of IGBT operation, and conduct aging cycle tests according to different conditions. Specifically:
[0081] Condition 1, using the traditional method, apply a PWM signal with an amplitude of 10V, a frequency of 10kHz, and a duty cycle of 40% to the gate. Make the IGBT device continuously turn on and off until failure, and collect parameters such as the saturation voltage drop V cesat , current, module junction temperature, module case temperature, and ambient temperature during the test.
[0082] Condition 2, select the smoothed IGBT operating current time series f m , f s and f a corresponding to the monthly, quarterly, and annual average wind speed (illumination) change curves.As the input, a high-frequency stepped square wave is used for accelerated aging. The period T is set to 60 s. The IGBT device is continuously turned on and off until it fails, and parameters such as the saturation voltage drop V cesat , current, module junction temperature, module case temperature, and ambient temperature are collected. By conducting aging tests under different conditions, an experimental data basis is provided for the subsequent research on the variation law of thermal parameters and the research on equivalent calculation methods.
