Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power system reliability prediction technology, specifically relating to a multi-level reliability prediction method for power systems based on fault precursor parameters. Background Technology
[0002] From the perspective of reliability design and health management, the reliability of power system output parameters is crucial information for evaluating system reliability, and the accuracy of its modeling determines the accuracy of system reliability prediction. During operation, power systems perform various power supply, distribution, and transfer tasks. The weighted result of the reliability under each system task profile is used as a comprehensive reliability evaluation parameter throughout the system's lifecycle. However, complex power systems are characterized by multi-level circuits, multiple tasks, numerous components, signal coupling between units, and complex and variable task timings. Existing system-level reliability prediction methods mostly only consider the calculation of unit-level input and output parameters, resulting in insufficient accuracy and depth of analysis in predicting system reliability. Digital model-based system reliability prediction methods rely excessively on low-level component information as input, and research on constructing comprehensive system reliability characterization models for systems with limited low-level information is insufficient. Furthermore, the dynamic timing changes and multi-stress coupling phenomena of the system under operational tasks place higher demands on modeling accuracy. Summary of the Invention

The system network node state set is Ω = {A} l B m C p D i ,R sys}, where A l (l=1,2,…,X comp ) indicates the component status parameter; B m (m=1,2,…,X sub) represents the state parameters of the sub-circuit; C p (p = 1, 2, ..., X) func ) represents the state parameter of the functional unit; D i (i = 1, 2, ..., X) sys ) represents the system task profile state parameters; R sys It represents the overall system reliability characteristics (reliability, failure rate, etc.); the constructed directed acyclic graph with 5 levels is the hierarchical construction of the dynamic fault tree of the power system;
[0062] Step S12: Utilize the power system dynamic fault tree constructed above to characterize the system's functional structure, with directed edges representing the state parameter transfer methods at each level: A l The stress field simulation model is transmitted to B. m B m The data is transmitted to C through a system-level dynamic simulation model. p C p By weight coefficient W i,p Passed to D i Finally, D i Through weight coefficient W sys,i Passed to R sys .
[0063] Step S2: Establish a multi-stress field simulation model for the sub-circuit, converting external excitation into component stress, and determine key parameters through sensitivity analysis; combine component stress to establish a failure physics model for the key parameters, and substitute the degradation curves and failure time samples obtained by random sampling into the multi-stress field simulation model of the sub-circuit to obtain the output parameters of the sub-circuit containing performance degradation and functional failure characteristics, completing the transfer from the component layer to the sub-circuit layer; the specific process includes the following steps:
[0064] Step S21, Establish X sub Each sub-circuit has its own multi-stress field simulation model, which transforms external excitation into component stress. The multi-stress field simulation model includes the component electrical simulation model E. l (t)=G E (t,S,T) and thermal simulation model T l (t)=G T (t,E,M), and the electrical and thermal simulation models can transfer parameters to each other.

Parameters with first and second order sensitivity values both higher than ±1% were identified as critical parameter A. k Key parameter A k Including the intrinsic parameters R of the components k Key node parameter V k , can be represented as A k ={R k V k}
[0069] Step S23: Establish the physical failure model (PoF) for key parameters, including the characterization of key parameter A. k Degradation model A over time k (t)=G P (t,Τ l (t),E l (t) and characterizing key parameter A k Failure model F for the time to occurrence of hard faults (open circuit, short circuit) k (t)=G F (t,Τ l (t),E l (t)), G P (·) and G F (·) are functions used to represent the degradation model and the failure model, respectively;
[0070] By using Monte Carlo random sampling, degradation curves (data corresponding to the degradation curves) and failure time samples corresponding to each key parameter are generated. The data corresponding to the degradation curves and the open-circuit and short-circuit data after reaching the failure time are then substituted into the multi-stress field simulation model to obtain the sub-circuit output parameters. These sub-circuit output parameters can represent performance degradation characteristics and functional failure characteristics. The multi-stress field simulation model in this embodiment is: [V n (t),I n [(t)]=G M (t,S,A k (t),F k (t)), where G M (·) is a function used to represent the obtained multi-stress field simulation model, V n (t), I n (t) represents the voltage and current parameters of the sub-circuit output node n as it degenerates with time t, V n (t), I n (t) can represent performance degradation characteristics and functional failure characteristics.
[0071] Step S3: Determine the parameters that significantly affect system failure, i.e., the system failure precursor parameters, through Pearson correlation coefficient analysis. Establish a system-level dynamic simulation model based on the power system's dynamic fault tree. Substitute the failure precursor parameters into the system-level dynamic simulation model to obtain the functional unit output parameters under equal stress, completing the transfer from the sub-circuit layer to the functional unit layer. The specific process includes the following steps:

The value of this factor is changed through an optimization algorithm to correct the correction factor μ. The output parameters of the functional unit under constant stress are obtained through simulation. The output parameters of the functional unit can be represented as a degradation curve with a distribution, i.e., the degradation curve of the output parameters of the functional unit.

[0100] Example
[0101] This embodiment focuses on an aircraft power system. Its primary function is to perform voltage conversions of varying timings and magnitudes according to different preset task flows, serving as a fundamental guarantee for the normal operation of the aircraft's electrical equipment. The aircraft power system is a multi-level system comprising six interconnected sub-circuit units used for power supply, control, communication, and other functions. Utilizing system layering and dynamic fault tree construction, and considering the multi-level and multi-tasking characteristics of complex electronic systems, the reliability of the aircraft power system is predicted, taking into account the functional failures and performance degradation of key internal components, as well as the multi-level impacts.
[0102] First, based on the aircraft power system schematic and according to the signal hierarchy, the system is divided into five levels: component layer, sub-circuit layer, functional unit layer, system mission profile layer, and overall system mission layer (output reliability characteristics). The hierarchical system parameter transfer relationships are as follows: Figure 2 In reality, the reliability of information that can be obtained often decreases with each level. By treating each level as a network node using a directed acyclic graph construction method, the system includes X. comp +X sub +Xfunc +X sys +1 node: X comp individual components, X sub Individual circuits, X func Functional units, X sys One system task profile, one overall system task.

[0103] A multi-level power supply system (including multiple sub-circuit modules that perform various functions such as power supply, control, and communication and have mutual influences) is represented using the dynamic fault tree method. The functional structure of the power supply is characterized as follows: Figure 3 As shown. And the state parameter transfer method at each level is represented by directed edges, by A. l The stress field simulation model is passed to B. m B m The data is transmitted to C through a system-level dynamic simulation model. p C p By weight coefficient W i,p Passed to D i Finally, D i Through weight coefficient W sys,i Passed to R sys .

[0105] Secondly, taking the B4 power supply circuit as an example, sub-circuit-level modeling is performed to realize the transfer from the component layer to the sub-circuit. A multi-stress field simulation model of the B4 power supply circuit is established using EDA software, as follows: Figure 4 This process transforms external excitation into component stress. First, a simulation model of the thermistor is constructed. Based on test data of the component's electrical parameters at different ambient temperatures, a model is established to show how the component's parameters change with temperature. For example, the power MOSFET is modeled based on its main electrical parameters at 25℃ and 175℃. The component's electrical simulation model is E. l (t)=G E (t,S,T), thermal simulation model is T l (t)=G T (t,E,M).

V1}). b ,I b ,P b ...}, where Vb, Ib, and Pb are the voltage, current, and power of the b-th component, respectively, and are converted into the thermal stress T on the surface of each component l. l (t);
[0106] First- and second-order sensitivity analyses of Sobol were performed to determine key parameters. Based on the B4 simulation model, parameter A was... l Input variables A1 to A9 are labeled. During their lifespan, the effects of a single parameter on the sub-circuit output signal V4, and the coupling effect of two parameters on the sub-circuit output signal V4, are analyzed when these parameters change by ±20%. The analysis results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, if both the first-order and second-order sensitivities are higher than ±1%, it indicates that the impact of this parameter on the output will not be overwhelmed by noise during its lifespan, and it can be considered a critical parameter A. k ={R k V k}, including the intrinsic parameters R of the components k Key node parameter V k Since the first-order and second-order sensitivities of A7, A8, and A3 are all higher than ±1%, they are identified as key parameters.

Specifically, conventional devices such as resistors, capacitors, and transistors adopt the Arrhenius physical model, such as the resistance degradation model of resistor A7 as shown in equation (1), which satisfies the normal distribution; for DC / DC converters and other devices that cannot be covered by the physical model, the empirical degradation model is used as a supplement, for example: the degradation curve of circuit node signal A3 can be constructed by extending the Eileen model as shown in equation (2):

[0109] Where R0 is the initial value of the intrinsic parameters of the component (resistance value in A7), R k (t) represents the intrinsic parameters of the component that degrade over time. V0 represents the initial value of the critical node parameter (output voltage in A3), V k (t) Degradation values of critical node parameters over time. V l For set E l The voltage stress in (t), T l For set T l Thermal stress (in Kelvin) in (t), where t is time and k is the Boltzmann constant 8.617 × 10⁻⁶. -5 eV / K, ε1 and ε2 are random quantities. Activation energy E a Other parameters m, p, a, and b are undetermined coefficients, obtained through fitting experimental data. Specifically for A7:
[0110] R7(t)=R0~N(3400,33.12 2 )
[0111]
[0112] Failure model F characterizing hard fault (open circuit, short circuit) states of key parameters k (t)=G F (t,Τ l (t),E l (t)). The specific form is as follows: For example, the failure model of the A8 power chip is as shown in equation (3), which satisfies a normal distribution.
[0113]
[0114] Where F k (t) represents the component's failure lifetime. l For set E l The current stress in (t) is ε3, which is a random quantity.
[0115] In fact, A k (t)=G P (t,Τ l (t),E l(t) is a general expression of formulas (1) and (2), F k (t)=G F (t,Τ l (t),E l (t) is a general expression of formula (3).
[0116] Based on parameter optimization software, such as iSIGHT, a sub-circuit degradation simulation calculation platform is established, such as... Figure 6 Degradation curves and failure (lifetime end) time samples were generated using Monte Carlo random sampling. The degradation curve data and open-circuit and short-circuit data after reaching the failure time were then substituted into the simulation model, such as... Figure 7 In the B4 sub-circuit, the power MOSFETs operate in PWM mode, regulating the power of each output load according to the drive signal. The final sub-circuit output parameters are: [V n (t),I n [(t)]=G M (t,S,A k (t),F k (t)), where V n (t), I n (t) represents the voltage and current parameters of the output node n of the sub-circuit as it degrades over time t. These parameters can represent performance degradation characteristics and functional failure characteristics. For example, Vt represents the voltage and current parameters of the output node n of the sub-circuit as it degrades over a certain time t. n I n It is a degenerative characteristic, and when t is long, V n I n This will become a failure characteristic. Similarly, EDA software can be used to build models of each sub-circuit included in the power supply system and perform simulation analysis.
[0117] Then, further analysis using the Pearson correlation coefficient was conducted to determine the key parameter A. k ={R k V k The parameters that significantly affect the failure of the power supply system are determined in the sub-circuits A7, A8, and A3, i.e., the system failure precursor parameters. The Pearson correlation coefficient r is given by equation (4):
[0118]
[0119] x m and y m These are the input values and simulation output values of the key parameters of the sub-circuit, respectively. and It corresponds to the mean, s x and s yHere, Z represents the standard deviation, and N is the number of data points. Analysis shows that the Pearson correlation coefficients (r) of curves A7, A8, and A3 relative to V4 are 0.891, 0.853, and 0.716, respectively. A7 and A8 are greater than Z (in this analysis scenario, a value greater than Z = 0.85 is considered to meet the correlation requirement), making them the weakest parameters for B4, and thus identified as precursor parameters for system faults. Similarly, precursor parameters for system faults in other sub-circuits are determined.
[0120] A dynamic system model is established. Based on the location and type of fault precursor parameters, dynamic logic gate components are constructed in EDA software using simulation components such as sequential switches, programmable switches, registers, and basic logic gates. This enables the conversion from a qualitative dynamic fault tree model to a quantitative simulation model. For example, a simulated sub-circuit centered on the power supply is integrated into the model. When the voltage of multiple power supplies falls below a certain threshold, it will lead to the failure of subsequent sub-circuits. This simulation is achieved using a voltage-controlled switch component. The various sub-circuits are connected according to the system connection method, resulting in the final dynamic system model as follows: Figure 8 .
[0121] Substituting the system fault precursor parameters of subcircuits B4 (A7 and A8) along with those of other subcircuits into the dynamic simulation model, including: R values fitted based on historical data under constant stress. S Historical test data V S Additionally, the non-uniform stress historical test data V of sensitive key node parameters will be used. test As a supplement, before substitution, multiply by the correction factor μ (0 < μ < 1), which is defaulted to 0.5, i.e., V′ S =0.5V S +0.5V test This allows for adjustment of the weight of this parameter in subsequent reliability prediction corrections, thereby improving the accuracy of reliability predictions. During the calculation process, an optimization algorithm is used to change the value of this factor, aiming to minimize the error between the simulated and actual values. Simulations yielded the functional unit output parameters under constant stress (including output degradation curves with distributions), where the degradation curve of the functional unit C2 output parameters is shown below. Figure 9 ;
[0122] Finally, the reliability is analyzed using the obtained degradation curves of the functional unit output parameters under equal stress, combined with the functional unit degradation model and failure threshold. Output voltage is a key output parameter determining the lifetime of C2, and it is related to other output parameters in series, directly determining whether the C2 control module can function. The degradation model of functional unit C2 is expressed as:
[0123] D2(t)=d(t;Φ)+ξ (5)
[0124] Where D2(t) is the cumulative degradation, d(t; Φ) is the degradation trajectory function representing the degradation curve, Φ is the coefficient in the function, and ξ is an uncertainty parameter that follows a normal distribution (related to individual tolerance differences and environmental noise). The parameter D2(t) is a continuously differentiable monotonically increasing function; when D2(t) > D... f Failure occurs at time t. Therefore, the failure probability function F2(t) at time t is:
[0125]
[0126] Among them G f Let be a standard normal cumulative distribution function with a mean of μ and a standard deviation of σ. The reliability R of the output parameters of functional unit C2 is calculated based on the lifetime distribution function. out,2 For example:
[0127] R out,2 (t)=1-F2(t) (7)
[0128] Based on this calculation process, the reliability curve of functional unit C2 under equal stress is obtained as follows: Figure 10 Similarly, the reliability curves of other functional units were obtained. Based on the existing experimental data, the lifespan of the functional units all met the reliability prediction range at a 95% confidence level, and the model accuracy met the requirements.
[0129] Subsequently, C was solved according to the working conditions. p To D i weight coefficients For example, the weighting coefficient W of the output parameter of the second functional unit C2 in the first system task profile D1. 1,2 =0.6. Solve for D. i To R sys weight coefficients For example, the weight coefficient W of the total system task in the entire life cycle of the first system task profile D1. sys,1 =0.2. The final system comprehensive evaluation coefficient calculation model is shown below:
[0130]
[0131] With 0.2(0.1R) out,1 +0.6R out,2 +0.3R out,3 For example, 0.2 indicates that the execution frequency of task profile D1 in this system accounts for 20%, R out,1 R out,2 R out,3The reliability of the output parameters corresponding to functional units C1, C2, and C3 are shown in the figures. 0.1, 0.6, and 0.3 represent the normalized values of the weighting coefficients for the operating time of C1, C2, and C3 as a percentage of the total time of the first system task profile. The final comprehensive evaluation parameters of the power system and the overall system task reliability curve are shown below. Figure 11 The power system lifespan is approximately 1790 days at a reliability level of 0.9. Furthermore, other reliability characteristics can be obtained using this weighted method. By coupling the parameters of the multi-stress field simulation model and adaptively adjusting the correction factors for supplementary system failure precursor parameters, the model's predicted results can be corrected. Compared with historical test data of similar equipment, the lifespan prediction accuracy can reach over 90%, which is quite accurate.
