讲座内容：

Online monitoring of the health of power electronic devices such as power switches and capacitors becomes more and more important for power systems, transport and industrial applications. This is because an unscheduled failure of a power switch or capacitor can cause several million dollars of financial loss or in a worst-case scenario can cause the loss of human life. The lecture will explain why power device fail, list the requirements to do health monitoring and will than provide an overview of latest and unconventional methods that has been proposed today.
