Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for predicting a faulty behaviour of an electrical converter. The method includes receiving an operation point indicator of the electrical converter indicative of an actual operation point of the electrical converter, where the electrical converter is connected to a rotating electrical machine; receiving a measured device temperature of a power semiconductor device of the electrical converter indicative of an actual temperature of the power semiconductor device; inputting the operation point indicator as input data into a machine learning algorithm trained with historical data comprising operation point indicators and associated device temperatures, where the historical data was recorded during normal operation of a power semiconductor device; estimating an estimated device temperature with the machine learning algorithm, where the estimated device temperature represents a device temperature during a normal operation; and predicting the faulty behaviour by comparing the estimated device temperature with the measured device temperature.
