Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Power electronic devices, such as metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), play a significant role in a wide range of applications. However, the remaining useful life (RUL) of MOSFETs has always been difficult to predict accurately. First, the interaction principle between the degradation state of MOSFETs and the sensitive electrical parameters is organized on the basis of structural and packaging characteristics, and the feasibility of using conduction resistance as a precursor parameter for the failure of MOSFETs is clarified. Second, in contrast with traditional RUL prediction methods, a MOSFET RUL prediction method based on degradation models is proposed. By combining with the MOSFET thermal overload aging dataset that is publicly available from NASA- Prognostics Center of Excellence in the United States, the performance of both algorithms in predicting the RUL of MOSFETs is systematically evaluated and compared. The results demonstrate that the extended Kalman filter algorithm not only achieves higher prediction accuracy (approximate to 95%) but also exhibits better stability and significantly faster computational speed (one order of magnitude less time per iteration) compared with the nonlinear regression algorithm. The findings underscore the importance of selecting appropriate algorithms for prognostics and highlight the growing need for interdisciplinary expertise that combines power electronics, data modeling, and algorithm implementation in advanced engineering research and education.
