description When an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) open-circuit fault occurs, a three-phase pulse-width modulated (PWM) converter can usually keep working, which will lead to system instability and more serious secondary faults. The fault detection and diagnosis of the converter is extremely necessary to improve the reliability of the power supply system. In order to solve the problem of fault misdiagnosis caused by parameters disturbance, this paper proposes a robust accuracy weighted random forests online fault diagnosis model to accurately locate various IGBTs open-circuit faults. Firstly, the fault signal features are preprocessed by using the three-phase current signal and normalization method. Based on the test accuracy of the perturbed out-of-bag data and the multiple converters test data, a robust accuracy weighted random forests algorithm is proposed for extracting a mapping relationship between fault modes and current signal. In order to further improve the fault diagnosis performance, a parameter optimization model is built to optimize hyper-parameters of the proposed method. Finally, comparative simulation and online fault diagnosis experiments are carried out, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the method.
