Appropriate maintenance of industrial equipment keeps production systems in good health
and ensures the stability of production processes. In specific production sectors, such as the …

The power semiconductor device is one of the most fragile components of the dc-dc power
converters in industrial applications. In this article, a Luenberger observer-based switch fault …

This article proposes a fault-tolerant control method for an input-parallel–output-series
(IPOS) converter under open-circuit switch failure, which mainly focuses on two parts: fault …

In this paper, a robust switch fault diagnosis method based on sliding mode observer is
proposed and applied to the dc-dc multi-phase floating interleaved boost converter (FIBC) …

Solar energy is one of the most important renewable sources due to its advantages such as
simple structure, convenient installation, diverse applications, and low maintenance costs …

Prognostics and Health Management (commonly called PHM) is a field that focuses on the
degradation mechanisms of systems in order to estimate their health status, anticipate their …

Open-switch fault is one of the most common faults of dc–dc converter. If the fault cannot be
diagnosed in time, it will have a serious impact on the normal operation of the system. To …

Open‐and short‐circuit faults (OSCFs) in boost dc–dc converters for photovoltaic (PV)
maximum power point trackers (MPPTs) imply an inefficiency after fault is triggered, which …

Series dc arc faults detection in large-scale dc microgrids can be challenging due to high
frequency noise crosstalk and large computational load. This paper proposes a distributed …

Detection, localization, and remedial actions during faults in semiconductor switches and
freewheeling diodes are the essential design aspects of a dc-dc converter. The inherent …
