The Application of Approximate Entropy Theory in Defects Detecting of IGBT Module by Shengqi Zhou, Luowei Zhou, Suncheng Liu, Pengju Sun, Quanming Luo, Junke Wu

“…Defect is one of the key factors in reducing the reliability of the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module, so developing the diagnostic method for defects inside the IGBT module is an important measure to avoid catastrophic failure and improves the reliability of power electronic converters. For this reason, a novel diagnostic method based on the approximate entropy (ApEn) theory is presented in this paper, which can provide statistical diagnosis and allow the operator to replace defective IGBT modules timely. …”
