Power electronic systems include many fragile elements, with power devices being the most prone to failure. Cycle counting algorithms are essential to evaluate power devices degradation and system ...

I believe the treatment of half-cycles in the rainflow counting by concatenation, by and large, results in them being "doubled" or treated as full cycles. While this approach is sometimes recommended ...

Abstract: This study proposes a novel Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for optimal management of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) plants integrated with a realtime cycle counting ...

ABSTRACT: Aluminum light poles play a pivotal role in modern infrastructure, ensuring proper illumination along highways and in populated areas during nighttime. These poles typically feature ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method based on online rainflow counting algorithm to estimate the converter lifetime. Firstly, a fast and simple electro-thermal model of Insulated Gate Bipolar ...

The rainflow counting does not produce the same results as per the example given in ASTM E1049:85 - 2011. The ASTM example uses the follow series: y = [-2, 1, -3, 5 ...

ABSTRACT: Vibration failure of piping is a serious problem and a matter of concern for safety and reliability of plant operations. Fatigue is the main cause of such failures. Due to the complexity of ...
