Remote Monitoring and Condition Based Maintenance of Power Electronics in Critical Energy and Transport Infrastructure

“关键能源和运输基础设施中电力电子设备的远程监控和状态维护”Amantys将基于其专有的功率半导体结温（Tj）估计技术进行可行性研究，以调整现有技术并开发新算法，从而实现监控转换器堆栈中电力电子设备状态的可靠方法。这将实现对关键基础设施资产（如离岸海岸风力涡轮机或铁路牵引系统中的转换器）的状况进行远程监控，并实现早期预测性维护，减少灾难性故障并最大限度地延长相关资产的正常运行时间。社会效益将包括降低资产拥有成本，总体减少碳排放和提高弹性，在危机时期尤为重要。该项目的成果将是CM算法验证使用预先存在的数据修改现有的硬件。该解决方案将在TRL 6/7“准备好进行实验室验证”，从而实现快速商业化。该项目已准备好受益于一个扩展，该扩展将使实验室验证能够使用故意“老化”和“退化”的半导体模块作为先决条件，与来自目标市场垂直领域的客户进行beta测试。Amantys还建议检查每个市场，整合/采用和ROI的路线图，与确定的“早期采用者”密切合作，以帮助加速初始使用。

"Remote Monitoring and Condition Based Maintenance of Power Electronics in Critical Energy and Transport Infrastructure"Amantys will conduct a feasibility study, based on its proprietary power semiconductor junction temperature (Tj) estimation technology, to adapt existing techniques and develop new algorithms to enable a robust method of monitoring the condition of power electronics in converter stacks. This will enable remote monitoring of the condition of critical infrastructure assets such as the converters in off shore wind turbines or in rail traction systems and enable early predictive maintenance, reducing catastrophic failures and maximising up time of the assets in question.Societal benefits will include reduced cost of ownership of the assets, overall reduction in carbon emissions and greater resilience, particularly important in times of crisis.The project outcome will be CM algorithms validated using pre-existing data on modified existing hardware. The solution will be "ready to lab validate" at TRL 6/7 enabling rapid commercialisation.The Project is ready to benefit from an extension that will enable lab validation using deliberately "aged" and "degraded" semiconductor modules as a precusror to beta testing the capability with a customer from the target market verticals. Amantys also propose to examine each market, the roadmap to integration/adoption and ROI, working closely with an identified, "early adopter" to help accelerate the initial use.
