AI Technical Summary
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.
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.
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.
