The problem of health status prediction of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) has gained significant attention in the field of health management of power electronic equipment. The performance degradation of the IGBT gate oxide layer is one of the most important failure modes. In view of failure mechanism analysis and the easy implementation of monitoring circuits, this paper selects the gate leakage current of an IGBT as the precursor parameter of gate oxide degradation, and uses time domain characteristic analysis, gray correlation degree, Mahalanobis distance, Kalman filter, and other methods to carry out feature selection and fusion. Finally, it obtains a health indicator, characterizing the degradation of IGBT gate oxide. The degradation prediction model of the IGBT gate oxide layer is constructed by the Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) Network, which show the highest fitting accuracy compared with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), and CNN-LSTM models in our experiment. The extraction of the health indicator and the construction and verification of the degradation prediction model are carried out on the dataset released by the NASA-Ames Laboratory, and the average absolute error of performance degradation prediction is as low as 0.0216. These results show the feasibility of the gate leakage current as a precursor parameter of IGBT gate oxide layer failure, as well as the accuracy and reliability of the CNN-LSTM prediction model.

As a core component of automobile transmission, rolling bearings play a main role in the safety and reliability of vehicles. Existing diagnostic models often treat all features equally after feature extraction, without effectively distinguishing the importance of fault features, resulting in low accuracy and poor robustness in bearing fault diagnosis. To address this issue, a fault diagnosis model for bearings under multiple operating conditions based on feature parameterization weighting is proposed. The model utilizes a feature parameterization weighting module to categorize faults into two classes based on differences in means and implements different feature processing methods. The experimental results validate that the proposed feature parameterization weighting module effectively improves the diagnostic accuracy of the model by 8.95%. In terms of noise resistance, on two multi-condition datasets, the proposed diagnostic model achieves diagnostic accuracy of 98.79% and 98.36%. The diagnostic accuracy is improved by 15.7% and 22.48%, which indicates that the model has strong anti-noise ability.

Insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are widely used in power electronic devices, and their health prediction problems have attracted much attention in the field of power electronic equipment health management. The performance degradation of IGBT gate oxide is one of the most important failure modes. In order to analyze this failure mechanism and the ease of implementation of a monitoring circuit, the gate leakage current of IGBTs was selected as the fault precursor parameter for the degradation of their gate oxide performance, and feature selection and fusion were carried out by using time domain characteristic analysis, grayscale correlation, Mahalanobis distance, Kalman filter, and other methods. Thus, a health indicator was obtained to characterize the degradation of IGBT performance, which was used to indicate the degree of aging of the IGBT gate oxide layer. In this paper, we propose an improved degradation prediction model called MultiScaleFormer, inspired by advanced design ideas of the iTransformer network architecture, combined with the health parameters of IGBTs to construct a degradation prediction model for the IGBT gate oxide layer. MultiScaleFormer showed the highest fitting accuracy compared with the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), CNN-LSTM, and Transformer models in our experiment. The mean absolute error (MAE) of the MultiScaleFormer prediction was as low as 0.0087. Extraction of the health indicator and the construction and verification of the degradation prediction model were carried out on the dataset released by the NASA-Ames Laboratory. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the gate leakage current as a fault precursor parameter for IGBT gate oxide failure, and the feasibility and accuracy of the MultiScaleFormer prediction model for IGBT performance degradation.

The progression in integrated circuit technology has necessitated advanced solutions for the storage and rapid transmission of extensive data generated by electronic modules. Compared to traditional signal compression and transmission techniques, compressed sensing (CS) transcends the limitations of the Shannon–Nyquist sampling theorem by enabling low-frequency signal sampling, thereby becoming a extensively utilized approach in the signal processing. Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence have further propelled the reconstruction efficacy of deep learning-based CS methods, mitigating certain constraints inherent in traditional CS approaches. Nonetheless, the existing deep learning-based CS methods are not optimally efficient for electronic data processing. In this regard, this study proposes a novel double-path multiscale adaptive compressed sensing network (DMA-CS). This network is structured around four key modules: signal compression, preprocessing, initial reconstruction, and secondary reconstruction. The signal compression module samples the signal for compression, the preprocessing module prepares the sampled signal for subsequent processing, the initial reconstruction module employs a double-path complementary network comprising a multiscale residual module fused with a multihead attention module and an inverse residual module for the initial reconstruction. Then, the secondary reconstruction module uses the adaptive dilated convolution residual module to adaptively adjust the size of the convolution kernel to ensure the high-quality reconstruction of different signals and combines it with the tree-like structure residual block for enhanced reconstruction. Our experimental evaluation on the P2020 module fault signal dataset and NASA Lithium Battery dataset demonstrates that our scheme attains the lowest percentage root-mean-square difference and the highest signal-to-noise ratio, demonstrating substantial enhancement in reconstruction performance and robustness.
