摘要

This paper presents a highly efficient method for the rapid detection and localization of open circuit and short-circuit faults in a single-phase nine-level switched-capacitor multilevel inverter, incorporating fault reconfiguration capabilities. The proposed system leverages data-driven techniques that utilize the inverter voltage signal as raw input data, processed through variable mode decomposition (VMD) for extracting critical information and features from the voltage signal. VMD decomposes the voltage signal into three intrinsic mode functions (IMFs-1 to IMFs-3), with IMF-1 providing essential information for fault analysis due to its high sensitivity to disturbances. IMF-1 is subjected to singular value decomposition to extract singular values, which are then transformed into an analytic signal and fed into a machine learning-based fuzzy inference system (FIS). The FIS accurately detects and localizes faulty switches and triggers the reconfiguration process by activating redundant switches or alternative paths, ensuring that output power is preserved and capacitor voltages remain balanced both pre- and post-fault. The proposed method undergoes a rigorous validation process, including comprehensive and competitive analysis, supported by both extensive experimental and simulation results, which demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed topology.
