Multi-phase motors and generators are regarded with great fault tolerance capability, especially on open-circuit faults. Various mathematics analytical methods are applied for their fault control. In this paper, a fault-tolerant control strategy with asymmetric phase current for the open-circuit faults with arbitrary phases in the six-phase PMSM (six-phase permanent magnetic synchronous motor, 6P-PMSM) system, is proposed for better electrical and dynamical performance of the machine. An innovative mathematical model for PMSM under one to four-phase-open circuit faults are established considering the asymmetry of the machine. Combining with time-varying relations in machines’ working conditions, targeted decoupling transformation matrixes of every kind of open-circuit faults are settled by voltage equations under different faults. Modified control strategy with a connection between the neutral point and the inverter’s DC side is presented, which aims at increasing the system redundancy and reducing the amplitude of phase currents. Besides, improved control loops with two layers are put forward as well, with which the PMSM system acquires fewer harmonics in phase current and smoother electromagnetic torque. Simulation and experimental results of open-circuit faults are provided for verification of the theoretical analysis.

This paper discusses open-circuit fault (OCF) diagnosis and fault-tolerant control strategy (FTCS) of a nonisolated DC-DC converter. The photovoltaic power conversion structure (PPCS) consists of a photovoltaic generator and an interleaved Boost converter (IBC). The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control of the IBC ensures operation at maximum power. The design of the nonlinear Backstepping control is detailed based on the equivalent average model of IBC, and the stability is studied using Lyapunov’s theorem. The proposed OCF fault detection is based on sampling the voltage across the inductor at a much higher frequency than the switching frequency. In an OCF situation occurrence and a high control signal state, the detection of three negative samples is a condition for signaling the presence of an OCF fault; the photovoltaic system continues its normal operation. The simulation results show the validity of the proposed FTCS. The proposed diagnosis and control strategy improves the performance of the IBC in terms of cost, reliability, and service continuity.

This paper introduces a sensorless-speed-controlled PMSM motor fed by a four-leg inverter in case of a single phase open circuit fault regardless in which phase is the fault. To minimize the system performance degradation due to a single phase open circuit fault, a fault tolerant control strategy that includes taking appropriate actions to control the two remaining healthy currents is used in addition to use the fourth leg of the inverter.  Tracking the saliency is done through measuring the dynamic current responses of the healthy phases of the PMSM motor due the IGBT switching actions using the fundamental PWM method without introducing any modification to the operation of the fourth leg of the inverter. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy for sensorless controlling of a PMSM motor driven by a fault-tolerant four-phase inverter over a wide speed ranges under the case of a single phase open circuit.

Permanent Magnet Motor

Multiphase permanent-magnet motors have received a lot of attention in the past few years owing to the merits of high power density, high efficiency and high fault-tolerant capability. Particularly, high fault tolerance is very desirable for safety-critical applications. This paper proposes an improved space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) fault-tolerant control for five-phase permanent-magnet motors. First, generalized five-phase SVPWM fault-tolerant control is deduced and analyzed based on single-phase open-circuit fault, thus obtaining various SVPWM fault-tolerant control strategies and yielding a greatly increased capacity to enhance fault-tolerant performance of motor. Then, an improved SVPWM fault-tolerant control strategy with increased DC bus voltage utilization and reduced current harmonics is proposed and compared with the traditional one. Last, effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy is verified by both simulation and experimental results on a five-phase permanent-magnet motor.
