Abstract: This paper examines the application of infrared sensors based on edge computing in power electronics technology to improve the fault detection efficiency of power equipment. An infrared sensor is a type of sensor that uses the outside of the red line for data processing. It has high sensitivity and can control the operation of the driver. The communication network between the edge and the power server detection is established by applying edge operation, which realises the intelligent scheduling of power equipment, reduces the detection delay, and enhances the security of power electronics. This work lays a foundation for the development of intelligent power electronics. This study provides support for the application of infrared sensors in the detection of power electronic equipment. In the future, the development of intelligent power systems can be promoted by improving the response speed and accuracy and combining artificial intelligence and edge computing.

Keywords: edge computing; infrared sensor; power electronic technology; power fault detection; power equipment.
