Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular to an online fault diagnosis method, medium, and electronic equipment for power electronic converters. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to two-level converter topologies, multilevel converter topologies offer advantages such as lower switching losses and lower output voltage harmonic content. In practical applications, the reliability of power electronic converters is crucial for the normal and safe operation of the system. Power semiconductor devices in power electronic converters are most prone to failure, especially short-circuit and open-circuit faults. Short-circuit faults cause overcurrent, which can be quickly detected by standard protection circuits. However, open-circuit faults lead to an increase in the harmonic content of the terminal voltage or current, which can have a destructive impact on inverter loads such as transformers or motors over the long term. Therefore, the system should have rapid open-circuit fault diagnosis capabilities to prevent serious consequences caused by the failure to detect open-circuit faults in a timely manner.

[0003] Furthermore, in engineering applications, the real signals acquired from power electronic converters are often present in the form of abundant noise. Processing noisy signals is a significant challenge for machine learning methods. Simultaneously, when acquiring multiple signals, substantial noise will reduce the accuracy of fault diagnosis and increase the training time of the diagnostic model. Summary of the Invention

U′qi U represents the average value of the i-th sampled voltage of the q-th capacitor. qi This represents the i-th sampled voltage value of the q-th capacitor. When there are not enough elements to fill the window, the mean is calculated based on the elements within the window. The calculation method is as follows:

[0022]

[0023]

[0024]

[0025]

[0026] Among them, I' pN U' is the average of the Nth current of the p-th output current. qN This is the average of the Nth sampled voltage of the qth capacitor.

[0027] Preferably, the secondary averaging and lightweight measurement signal processing of the data after the first processing includes:

[0042] This invention involves offline acquisition of normal and fault data sequences of capacitor voltage and output current of a power electronic converter (PEB), and the setting of fault labels. Then, a multi-feature slicing improved extreme learning machine (ELM) method is applied to train an offline PEB fault diagnosis model. Next, online acquisition of PEB capacitor voltage and output current data sequences is performed, and the online data is processed using the same method. This processed data is then input into the trained PEB fault diagnosis model, enabling online fault diagnosis of the PEB, particularly open-circuit faults. Specifically, the offline training of the PEB fault diagnosis model using the multi-feature slicing improved ELM method involves first performing a first-stage averaging to remove noise from the offline acquired data, followed by a second-stage averaging and lightweight measurement signal processing. The second-stage data is then longitudinally sliced ​​to obtain multiple training samples.

[0047] The following describes this embodiment in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the invention, and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0048] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, illustrates an online fault diagnosis method, medium, and electronic device for a power electronic converter according to this embodiment.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of an online fault diagnosis method for power electronic converters according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0050] Step S1: Collect the capacitor voltage and output current data of the power electronic converter offline and set fault tags.

[0051] In this embodiment, the offline data acquisition includes normal data (health data) of capacitor voltage and output current, and fault data. The fault data refers to the fault data when all switches in the power electronic converter experience an independent open-circuit fault. The offline sampling frequency is the same as the switching frequency of the switches in the power electronic converter.

[0052] Step S2: The offline collected data is processed using the multi-feature slicing improved extreme learning machine method, and the power electronic converter fault diagnosis model is trained offline based on the processed data and fault labels.

[0053] Among these methods, a multi-feature slicing improved extreme learning machine approach is used to process offline collected data, and a power electronic converter fault diagnosis model is trained offline based on the processed data and fault labels, including:

[0054] The offline acquired data is subjected to a first average to remove data noise, and then a second average to quantize the measurement signal. The second-processed data is then longitudinally sliced ​​to obtain multiple training samples. These training samples are then input into the power electronic converter fault diagnosis model. Based on the corresponding fault labels, the corresponding training targets are obtained to complete the training of the power electronic converter fault diagnosis model.

[0055] In this embodiment, the offline collected data undergoes an average noise removal process, including:

[0056] Set up K data point windows, and calculate the mean value of each K-sized data window for offline data acquisition, centering on each data point. This yields the processed capacitor voltage and output current data sequence. The window center moves by one data point each time, calculated as follows:

[0057]

[0058]

[0059] Where p is the output current pointer, p = 1, 2, ..., L, L is the total output current, I′ pi I represents the average value of the i-th output current of the p-th output current. pi This represents the i-th sampled current value of the p-th output current, where i = 1, 2, ..., N, and N is the total number of sampled current values. K = 2i + 1 represents the window size of K data points. q is the capacitor voltage pointer, where q = 1, 2, ..., R, and R is the number of capacitors. U′ qi U represents the average value of the i-th sampled voltage of the q-th capacitor. qi This represents the i-th sampled voltage value of the q-th capacitor. When there are not enough elements to fill the window, the mean is calculated based on the elements within the window. The calculation method is as follows:

[0060]

[0061]

[0062]

[0063]

[0064] Among them, I' pN U' is the average of the Nth current of the p-th output current. qN Let be the average of the Nth sampled voltage of the qth capacitor. From this, we can obtain the DC-side capacitor voltage data sequence U' after one processing step. q The three-phase output current data sequence I'p is respectively {U' q}={U' q1 U' q2 … U' qN} and {I' p}={I' p1 I' p2 … I' pN}

[0065] Furthermore, a second-stage averaging and lightweight measurement signal processing is performed on the data after the first-stage processing, including:

[0066] Set a window of size \(K'\) data points, and successively calculate the means of the local \(K'\) data points of the processed capacitor voltage data sequence and the output current data sequence to obtain the processed capacitor voltage data sequence and the output current data sequence; where the window moves \(K'\) data points each time, and the calculation method is as follows:

[0067]

[0068]

[0069] Where \(I'\) pM represents the \(M\)th current mean of the \(p\)th output current after the second processing, \(K'\) represents the window size, \(M\) represents the total number of sampled current values during the second processing, and \(U''\) qM represents the \(M\)th sampled voltage mean of the \(q\)th capacitor after the second processing, where \(0 < M \ll N\). Thus, the processed DC-side capacitor voltage data sequence \(U'\) q ' and the three-phase output current data sequence \(I'\) p ' are respectively \(\{U''\) q \} = \{U''\) q1 \(U''\) q2 \(\cdots U''\) qM \} and \(\{I''\) p \} = \{I''\) p1 \(I''\) p2 \(\cdots I''\) pM \}.

[0070] Furthermore, as described above, longitudinally slice the processed data, and use the sliced data to input into the extreme learning machine method to train the fault diagnosis model of the power electronic converter. The slicing method and the training method are as follows:

[0071]

[0072] Where \(I''\) LM is the \(M\)th current mean of the \(L\)th output current after the second average lightweighting, and \(U''\) RM is the \(M\)th voltage mean of the \(R\)th capacitor after the second average lightweighting.

[0073] Step S3: Online collect the capacitor voltage and output current data sequences of the power electronic converter.

[0074] Among them, when online collecting the capacitor voltage and output current data sequences of the power electronic converter, the online collection frequency is the same as the offline sampling frequency.

[0075] Step S4: After processing the online data using the multi-feature slicing improved extreme learning machine method, input it into the trained fault diagnosis model of the power electronic converter to achieve online fault diagnosis of the power electronic converter.

[0076] To demonstrate the online fault diagnosis method for power electronic converters proposed in this embodiment, a four-level active neutral-point clamping inverter is used as an example.

[0077] Four-level active midpoint clamp inverter topology as follows Figure 2 As shown, taking phase A switch tube as an example, an open circuit fault is sequentially implanted to conduct an online diagnostic experiment for the open circuit fault. The specific fault diagnosis operation steps are as follows:

[0081] (2) Apply the multi-feature slicing improved extreme learning machine method to train a fault diagnosis model for a four-level active midpoint clamp inverter.

[0082] (3) Online acquisition of DC side capacitor voltage and three-phase output current data sequence of four-level active neutral point clamped inverter.

[0083] (4) Apply the feature slice improved extreme learning machine method in step (2) to process online data and input it into the four-level active midpoint clamp inverter fault diagnosis model to diagnose the four-level active midpoint clamp inverter fault.

[0084] It should be noted that, compared with other inventions, the solution proposed in this invention differs in the following ways:

[0085] (1) This invention utilizes the first multi-feature slicing technology to improve the Extreme Learning Machine for diagnosing open-circuit faults of switching transistors in power electronic converters;

[0086] (2) The present invention provides a specific research method, which is as follows: First, offline data sequences of capacitor voltage and output current health and fault data of power electronic converter are collected, and fault labels are set; second, the multi-feature slicing improved extreme learning machine method is applied to train the power electronic converter fault diagnosis model offline; then, online data sequences of capacitor voltage and output current data of power electronic converter are collected; finally, the feature slicing improved extreme learning machine method is applied to process the online data, and the data is input into the power electronic converter fault diagnosis model to diagnose power electronic converter faults online.

[0087] This enables open-circuit fault diagnosis in power electronic converters. Specifically, when training the power electronic converter fault diagnosis model offline using a multi-feature slicing improved extreme learning machine method, the offline acquired data is first averaged to remove noise, then the processed data undergoes a second averaging and lightweight measurement signal processing. Finally, the processed data is vertically sliced ​​to obtain multiple training samples. These training samples are then input into the power electronic converter fault diagnosis model, and corresponding training targets are obtained based on the fault labels. This completes the training of the power electronic converter fault diagnosis model. By processing the noise in the acquired signals using this method, the training time of the fault diagnosis model can be reduced, and the accuracy of fault diagnosis can be improved. Furthermore, the power electronic converter fault diagnosis method of this invention also has the advantages of simple operation, good real-time performance, and strong generalization ability.
