Hidden Markov Model-Supported Machine Learning for Condition Monitoring of DC-Link Capacitors

Abstract Details

2020, Master of Science, Miami University, Computational Science and Engineering.
Power electronics are critical components in society's modern infrastructure. In electrified vehicles and aircraft, losing power jeopardizes personal safety and incur financial penalties. Because of these concerns, many researchers explore condition monitoring (CM) methods that provide real-time information about a system';s health. This thesis develops a CM method that determines the health of a DC-link capacitor in a three-phase inverter. The approach uses measurements from a current transducer in two Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, a Support Vector Machine (SVM), and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), that classify the data into groups corresponding to the capacitor's health. This research evaluates six sets of data: time-domain, frequency-domain, and frequency-domain data subjected to four smoothing filters: the moving average with a rectangular window (MARF) and a Hanning window, the locally weighted linear regression, and the Savitzky-Golay filter. The results show that both ML algorithms estimate the DC-link capacitor health with the highest accuracy being 91.8% for the SVM and 90.7% for the ANN. The MARF-smoothed data is an optimal input data type for the ML classifiers due to its low computational cost and high accuracy. Additionally, a Hidden Markov Model increases the classification accuracy up to 98% when utilized with the ANN.
