Tracking of Aging Processes in Power Electronic Converters Using the Rainflow Method

Measuring Temperature Swing with Optical Fibers during Power Cycling of Power Components

“…The first one is based on physics-of-failure (PoF) lifetime models, which are limited due to the lack of detailed information on the materials and geometries of the power modules. Another one is the analytical models, the many use of the rain-flow counting methods, etc, which all need experimental power cycling tests [7] - [8].…”
