Another alternative derating, which was described in the previous chapter, is application of fault tolerant structures for the power converter. Fault tolerance is the property that enables a system to continue operating properly in the event of a failure of (or one or more faults within) some of its components. Fault tolerant systems are systems that can be operating after fault occurrence with no degraded performance in their basic functional requirements. This is the main difference between fault tolerant systems and derated systems. In this chapter, some methods for fault tolerance in electric power converters are presented. Fault tolerance is almost the only method for achieving a desired reliability in a converter that operates with non-zero fault possibility. There are two main approaches for this aim: re-configuration of the faulty system and using redundant systems. Redundancy is the provision of functional capabilities that would be unnecessary in a fault-free environment. Various types of redundant systems as passive and active redundancy are described and their application in power supply systems is presented. A new approach for a reliable and fault tolerant power supply is proposed and justified with experimental results. The concept of fault tolerance in electrical machines is presented.

High-voltage high-frequency power supply using voltage-fed load resonant inverter with a series-compensated resonant inductor has been developed for efficient atmospheric surface glow barrier discharges(ASGBD). It produces a controllable frequency and sinusoidal alternating voltage output. The maximum output voltage is about 6 kV peak to peak. Resonant power converter can be tune easily to the resonant frequency of the load. Operating frequency varies according to the load and voltage level typically in the range of 10 kHz and 1 MHz range. The output voltage is controlled by using pulse width modulation technique. The power supply developed in this paper is applied successfully for ozoniser that can produce high concentrate ozone by using ASGBD for agricultural industry applications.

In this paper, a novel current control strategy of precise current source is presented, which combines switch power conversion mode with linear amplification mode. The linear power amplifier is used as the power converter in the current loop. The current controller is a double cascaded PI (DCPI) controller which is put up by the way of analog circuit, it can suppress the high frequency disturbance signal effectively. The switch-filter circuit can generate a special power supply for linear power amplifier, the voltage of this special power supply changes as the load voltage does. The topology of four-level H-Bridge works as the power converter of the switch power amplifier, the LC filter circuit can eliminate the current ripple caused by the PWM chopper.The simulation and experimental results verify that the Switch-Linear Hybrid (SLH) scheme is of high efficiency and output quality. The bandwidth of the precise current source is 5.4 kHz and the phase margin is 42 degree.

An energy-efficient and simple method of testing electric motors in a dynamic mode is considered. When testing an electrical machine, the rotor is driven into a reciprocating rotary motion. The source of power of the power converter, which controls the electric machine, is a supercapacitor. When the electric machine is accelerated, electric energy is consumed from the supercapacitor, when the machine brakes the kinetic energy of the moving masses is converted into electrical energy, which accumulates in the supercapacitor. The energy loss during the operation of the electromechanical system in the dynamic mode is compensated by recharging the supercapacitor using a controlled rectifier connected to the power supply network.

This paper presents the design of a power converter for electric vehicle (EV) applications energized by Li-ion battery (LiB) and supercapacitor (SC). The combination of these energy sources is a good solution for better performances of the EV. A single non-isolated bi-directional converter is proposed in order to get the lowest loss, weight and cost of total electric vehicle applications perspective. The battery voltage represents bus voltage of the power supply system connecting to the load. To control the dynamic of converter, state space averaging technique and power equation linearization are employed to get the transfer function for designing the PI controllers. In order to get the fast response of SC power energizing, the cascade controller is implemented to control current and SC voltage. MATLAB simulation is successfully verified the proposed power converter topology, configuration and controller design for EV. The result shows the capability to settling supply a significant amount of power for step load change within few milliseconds. Sudden load power demand can be drawn from SC. This can reduce the stress of battery as in case of the pure battery power supply system.
