DC Bus Capacitor Condition Monitoring for Low Voltage and Medium Voltage Power Cells

The goal of the project is to develop, implement, and validate novel condition monitoring algorithms that can detect the onset of a failure through changes in behavior of the DC bus capacitors in motor drives with no additional sensors. This is an important research area as detecting the onset of a potential failure is of a significant importance from both academic and industrial point of view. In addition, it will be beneficial for other power electronic applications.
