Abstract: A system, method and machine-readable instructions for monitoring a power electronics device. The system involves a semiconductor device, at least one sensor and a processor. The processor is configured to monitor a junction temperature of the semiconductor device by determining from the at least one sensor an on-state resistance of the semiconductor device and calculating the junction temperature of the semiconductor device according to a relationship between the on-state resistance of the semiconductor device and the junction temperature of the semiconductor device. The processor may apply an ageing coefficient to the on-state resistance.

Abstract: An operating condition monitor (100) for monitoring an operating condition of a transistor-based power converter (102), comprising: a sensing apparatus (106) configured to measure a turn-off transient energy of the power converter (102), a processor (108) in communication with the sensing apparatus (106) to receive the measurement of the turn-off transient energy, the processor being configured to: compare the measurement of the turn-off transient energy to a threshold; and issue an event signal based on the comparison to the threshold meeting a comparison criterion. A method (200, 200′) of monitoring an operating state of a transistor-based power converter is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method of monitoring the health of a semiconductor power electronic switch such as an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is provided. The method having the steps of: measuring one or more parameters selected from the group consisting of: a rate of change of voltage ( dV dt ) across the switch; a rate of change of current ( di dt ) through the switch, a charge present on a gate of the switch (QG), a peak overshoot voltage (VPO) across the switch, and a peak overshoot or reverse recovery current (IRR) through the switch; and estimating the health of the switch based on the measured parameter(s).
