Reliability of Power Electronic Converter Systems outlines current research into the scientific modeling, experimentation, and remedial measures for advancing the reliability, availability, system robustness, and maintainability of Power Electronic Converter Systems (PECS) at different levels of complexity.
Drawing on the experience of an international team of experts the book introduces reliability engineering in power electronic converter systems, and goes on to cover a range of topics including:
- anomaly detection and remaining life prediction for power electronics;
- reliability of DC-link capacitors in power electronic converters;
- reliability of power electronics packaging; modeling for life-time prediction of power semiconductor modules;
- minimization of DC-link capacitance in power electronic converter systems;
- wind turbine systems;
- smart control strategies for improved reliability of power electronics systems;
- lifetime modelling;
- power module lifetime test and state monitoring; tools for performance and reliability analysis of power electronics systems;
- fault tolerant adjustable speed drive systems;
- mission profile oriented reliability design in wind turbine and photovoltaic systems;
- reliability of power conversion systems in photovoltaic applications;
- power supplies for computers; and high-power converters.
This title is essential reading for any researchers, professionals and students working with power electronics and their applications.
