    摘要: Method to estimate a remaining of useful life of a DC link capacitor (3) of a converter (1) through determination of a minimum value Clim of its capacitance C under which performances of the converter are considered as insufficient comprising:
    - implementing a real time model (130, 230) comprising a motor drive model and a capacitor model using decreasing capacitor values (140, 150, 240, 250) to calculate a forecasted minimum capacitance Clim sufficient for keeping at least one of DC voltage ripple, motor current ripple, speed ripple or torque ripple under a specified value;
    - calculating a time difference between a time Tactual, for which the capacitor has an estimated capacitance based on an ageing curve Ccurve, and a time Tlim for which the capacitor will have the forecasted minimum capacitance Clim, with the use of an ageing curve Ccurve of said capacitor and estimating the remaining useful life of said capacitor Tactual-Tlim (120).

    摘要: A rectifier device according to the present disclosure controls a ratio of a short-circuit and an opening of a semiconductor switch based upon a difference between command information, which is a total of a harmonic current waveform with a fixed value within a limit of a harmonic regulation and a sinusoidal current waveform that is variable according to a DC load connected to the rectifier device, and actual current information. The harmonic current waveform is a sum of sine function groups of odd orders, wherein an amplitude of each odd-order harmonic is set to be substantially equal to an allowable value under the harmonic regulation, and each odd-order harmonic becomes a zero phase when a fundamental wave expressed by a sine function becomes a zero phase. When the variable sinusoidal current value is smaller than a predetermined value, the harmonic current waveform is attenuated in conjunction.
