An availability and a reliability prediction has been made for a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) module of VSC (Voltage Source Converter) containing DC/DC converter, gate driver, capacitor and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT). This prediction was made using published failure rates for the electronic equipment. The purpose of this prediction is to determinate the additional module re...

Time-to-failure (TTF) prediction of bearings is vital to the prognostic and health management rotating machines. Owing shifty degradation trends (DTs) bearings, it still difficult obtain accurate TTF results. To solve this problem, paper proposes an online, continuously updated method based on indicator (HI) similarity analysis DT detection. First, multiple features are extracted fused construc...
