Data Mining Applications to Fault Diagnosis in Power Electronic Systems:A Systematic Review

Abstract

Early fault detection in power electronic systems (PESs) to maintain reliability is one of the most important issues that has been significantly addressed in recent years. In this article, after reviewing various works of literature based on fault detection in PESs, data mining-based techniques including artificial neural network, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms are introduced. Then, the fault detection routine in PESs is expressed by introducing signal measurement sensors and how to extract the feature from them. Finally, based on studies, the performance of various data mining methods in detecting PESs faults is evaluated. The results of evaluations show that the deep learning-based techniques given the ability of feature extraction from measured signals are significantly more effective than other methods and as an ideal tool for future applications in the power electronics industry are introduced.</p
