Abstract: In order to accurately predict the aging state of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), a novel IGBT aging prediction method is proposed based on improved whale optimization algorithm (IWOA) and optimized support vector regression (SVR). In this method, the time-frequency domain characteristics of IGBT collector-emitter voltage signals are extracted and are integrated into a comprehensive index to characterize the aging state of IGBT through dimension reduction of kernel principal component analysis (KPCA); Against the deficiency of the whale optimization algorithm (WOA), the Sobol sequence population initialization, inertia weight and reverse learning strategy are introduced to enhance the local search ability and convergence speed of WOA; The IWOA is used to optimize the penalty factor and kernel parameters of SVR, and an IGBT prediction model is constructed based on the comprehensive index. The proposed IWOA-SVR method is verified by using the IGBT aging data set of the NASA Ames laboratory. The results show that the constructed IWOA-SVR prediction model can more accurately predict the aging of IGBT.
