Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, Z., Wheeler, P., Watson, A., Costabeber, A., Bai, Z., Zhang, X., Zhao, B., & Ma, H. (2019, September). A Nonintrusive IGBT Open-Circuit Fault and Current Sensor Fault Diagnosis Method for Grid-Tied Three-phase Three-Wire Inverter with Two Current Sensors. Presented at 2019 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE), Baltimore, MD, USA

© 2019 IEEE. In some cases, only two current sensors are available in three-phase three-wire (3P3W) inverters. This occurs when one of three sensors is faulty, or the inverter is equipped with only two sensors to save cost. There has been no method a...
