Capacitors are crucial components in power electronic converters, responsible for harmonic elimination, energy buffering, and voltage stabilization. However, they are also the most susceptible to damage due to their operational environment. Accurate temperature estimation of capacitors is essential for monitoring their condition and ensuring the reliability of the converter system.

It is easier to identify the resonance frequency in the vibration signal during the hammer test and power on than in the operation of the transformer, because the vibration caused by the load current does not need to be considered during the hammer test and power on. Therefore, an analysis method with simple calculation, fast calculation speed and easy real-time monitoring is needed to deal with these two non-stationary vibrations.
