Insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modern power electronics converters. The ability of the IGBT transistor, which is utilised in power converter circuits, to block high voltages, is one of its most crucial features. Large-scale solar power generations are incorporated into the AC grid via voltage-source converters (VSC). Many other applications also utilise voltage-source converters (VSCs). IGBTs are an integral part of voltage-source converters. Fault in IGBT-based VSCs has an impact on the functionality of all VSC-based systems. So, the fault-proof operation of IGBT is highly desirable. This article presents a methodology to detect the premature IGBT breakdown fault (PIBDF) in a photovoltaic (PV)-grid-connected three-phase three-level Voltage Source Converter (VSC). The work has been done using an analysis that is based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) technique applied to the output phase voltage of VSC. Then for different fault percentage values, the effects on the DC as well as the fundamental frequency component and harmonic distortions have been investigated. Some specific features of the subharmonic components have been studied under the normal and faulty conditions of the IGBT. Further study shows that there are few features suitable for fault identification. |
