Abstract

This work presents a power electronics health monitoring test platform for assessing modern power drives and electric machines with regeneration capabilities. This versatile platform combines data acquisition of critical system signals that are used for analysis as health indicators for the overall system and individual components such as power semiconductor devices. The test platform combines hardware and software in the loop to allow health monitoring and control techniques for fault tolerance.
