Abstract

Embeddable features easily incorporated in traditional power drive systems are identified for prognostic health management (PHM) systems. This novel technique utilizes the original PWM waveform produced by the inverter to evaluate the power electronic circuit and electric machine against transistor degradation. Evaluation of the primary feature, ringing characterization, with experimental data demonstrates its viability as a practical real-time power device health-state indicator.
