Power Converter Fault Detection: Enhancing Power System Reliability with AI
Overview
Power converters are the backbone of modern industries, facilitating efficient energy conversion and distribution. This webinar focuses on modeling power converters in Simscape Electrical to simulate faults and aging processes. By generating synthetic data, we’ll show how to develop a predictive maintenance algorithm capable of detecting faults and estimating the remaining useful life of power converters. This approach enhances performance, reduces downtime, and optimizes maintenance strategies.
Whether you are involved in renewable energy, manufacturing, utilities, or any industry utilizing power electronics, mastering power converters is essential for ensuring reliable and sustainable operations.
