- Additional information
- We report over 7 years of research into power electronic devices. Degradation raw data was collected from operational environments and accelerated aging tests under thermal overstress condition. Failure development and remaining useful life of inverters are accurately determined. The proposed driving strategy of IGBT based inverters can reduce thermal stresses in the IGBT by 16.51%, compared to the current operation mode. The proposed methods can be employed in industry for improving the operational life of IGBT with fewer breakdowns, indicating an economic gain and reliable operation. Through this work, an international collaboration has been established amongst three research groups.
