AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies cannot fully predict the health status of thyristors, making it impossible to effectively maintain them when they fail, which affects the normal operation of the converter valve.

Method used

By measuring the on-state voltage drop and reverse recovery charge of the thyristor through step stress accelerated aging test, a binary degradation trajectory model of the thyristor is established. The unknown parameters are estimated using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method, and the remaining lifetime of the thyristor is predicted.

Benefits of technology

This improves the accuracy of thyristor life prediction, enabling a more comprehensive reflection of the thyristor's health status, reducing inaccurate predictions due to a small number of failure samples, and enhancing the reliability of thyristors and the safety of converter valves.

Abstract

This invention discloses a method, device, and storage medium for predicting the remaining lifetime of high-power thyristors, belonging to the technical field of high-power thyristor remaining lifetime prediction. It addresses the problem of how to more comprehensively predict the health status of thyristors. The method involves collecting degradation test data of the thyristor's on-state voltage drop and reverse recovery charge; calculating an acceleration factor based on the test data; establishing a binary degradation trajectory model of the thyristor based on the degradation data of the thyristor's on-state voltage drop and reverse recovery charge; estimating the unknown parameters of the model using the Markov chain Monte Carlo method; and evaluating the remaining lifetime of the thyristor using the lifetime prediction model. This invention uses two-dimensional data of the thyristor's on-state voltage drop and reverse recovery charge to evaluate the thyristor's lifetime and models their correlation. The resulting thyristor lifetime prediction results can comprehensively reflect the health status of the thyristor, overcoming the difficulty of accurately predicting the thyristor's lifetime due to a small number of failure samples, and improving the accuracy of thyristor lifetime prediction.
