A simple state-based prognostic model for predicting remaining useful life of IGBT power module

Health management and reliability are fundamental aspects of the design and development cycle of power electronic products. This paper presents the prognostic evaluation of a power electronic IGBT module. To achieve this aim, a simple state-based prognostic (SSBP) method has been introduced and applied on the data which was extracted from an aged power electronic IGBT and its remaining useful life was determined.
