CNN-LSTM-Based Prognostics of Bidirectional Converters for Electric Vehicles’ Machine

This paper proposes an approach to estimate the state of health of DC-DC converters that feed the electrical system of an electric vehicle. They have an important role in providing a smooth and rectified DC voltage to the electric machine. Thus, it is important to diagnose the actual status and pred...
