1. A method for predicting a failure of a power control unit of a vehicle, the method comprising:
obtaining data including a simulated voltage, a simulated current, and a simulated temperature of the power control unit from a plurality of sensors configured to measure the simulated voltage, the simulated current, and the simulated temperature of the power control unit of the vehicle being subject to simulated multi-load conditions including a simulated thermal cycling, a simulated power cycling, and a simulated vibration cycling simultaneously, the power control unit being configured to control power from a battery of the vehicle, the power control unit being a separate element from the battery;
implementing a machine learning algorithm on the data including a temperature of the power control unit to obtain machine learning data;
obtaining new data including a real voltage, a real current, and a real temperature of the power control unit from the plurality of sensors for measuring the power control unit of the vehicle being subject to real multi-load conditions including a thermal cycle, a power cycle, and a vibration;
implementing the machine learning algorithm on the new data to obtain test data;
predicting that the power control unit is going to fail based on a comparison between the test data and the machine learning data, and
sending, to a brake electronic control unit, a command for adjusting a regeneration required torque in advance of a failure of the power control unit in response to predicting that the power control unit is going to fail.
