An Online Multiple Open Switch Fault Diagnosis Method for T Type Three Level Inverters Based on Mult

With the development of the processing capacity of the embedded chip, it is possible to implement a machine learning algorithm in the embedded system. To achieve the fault status without poor portability, tricky threshold selection, and complex rulemaking, this article proposes a multimodal deep residual filter network (DRFN) for online multiple open-switch fault diagnosis of T-type three-level inverters. It contains low-rank matrix fusion (LMF), a DRFN, and a cross-transformer mechanism. The LMF fuses the voltage signal and the current signal for obtaining the unified representation. Then, the DRFN filters noise adaptively and extracts information effectively. Finally, the cross-transformer mechanism outputs the fault state of the T-type three-level inverter. The datasets consist of the dc-link voltage and load side current of the inverter control system. The data time window is selected as 20 ms. Through the real-time calculation of online monitored data, the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed fault diagnosis approach. Moreover, the accuracy of fault diagnosis is 99.18%, and the average open-circuit fault diagnosis time is 21 ms.
