Fault-tolerant control (FTC) solutions are increasingly being used in modern drive systems with AC motors. Such systems provide a higher degree of security and solutions that allow the on-line detection and localization of failures, as well as the switching of the control mode to a mode that allows us to continue the operation or safely stop the drive system. As the current sensors (CSs) are necessary to ensure precise control of the AC motors, in the event of their failure, one of two strategies can be used—hardware or software redundancy. The first strategy requires the use of additional measuring sensors. For this reason, the algorithmic solution, based on the Luenberger Observer (LO), has been proposed in this article as one of the software redundancy methods. In contrast to methods presented in the literature, the proposed solution allows one not only to compensate the stator current in a phase with a faulty CS, but also to adjust the correction of current estimation based on a measured signal in the other phase with a healthy CS. Extensive simulation studies in the direct rotor flux-oriented control (DRFOC) structure with the induction motor (IM) confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, the proposed solution allows the drive system to be controlled even if all CSs are damaged.

Electric mining haul trucks are one of the most challenging applications of power electronics in automotive systems. This paper presents some advances of AC drive system with multiphase induction motor in high power mining haul trucks used in the special operation and environment. It is established that the use of inverter-fed dual three-phase (DTP) induction motors with vector control is the preferred solution to reach the required high starting torque, widely variable-speed range and good dynamic performance required by these vehicles. Key technologies and design features for the drive systems under extreme operating conditions are discussed.

Fault tolerant drive systems have played an increasing role for electric vehicles in order to improve reliability, availability, and to reduce maintenance. For safety reason, a fault-tolerant drive system, which includes some redundant devices and a traditional motor drive system, has been developed. This fault-tolerant system executes real-time fault detection, diagnosis, isolation, and control to make the fault-tolerant drive system operate normally even though some faults have happened. In this paper, an AC/DC converter faults, which includes a single-phase full-bridge rectifier diode fault, a three-phase full-bridge rectifier diode fault, and a DC-link capacitor fault are investigated. The fault-tolerant processes include fault detection, diagnosis, isolation, and control to improve the reliability of the drive system and reduce the disturbances during faulty interval. A digital signal processor, manufactured by Texas Instruments, type TMS320F2808, is used as a control center to achieve the fault tolerant processes. Experimental results validate theoretical analysis to demonstrate the correctness and feasibility of the proposed methods. The proposed method can be easily implemented in industrial products due to its simplicity.

This paper discusses Direct-torque-control(DTC)-based fault-tolerance strategiesapplied to three fault-tolerant induction motor drive systems when they operate under single-phase open-circuit fault. Despite the fact that these drive systems have already been discussed in the literature, the reported papers always make use of Field-oriented-control(FOC)-based fault compensation strategies. In this way, performed simulations show that DTC-based strategies are feasible and are able to provide circular flux trajectory, which is the necessary condition for the motor operate properly.

With the increasing use of equipment that demand electric drive systems, the need for new systems that meet requirements of compactness, versatility, safety and low cost has increased. The IRAM module is an electronic circuit that provides a driver for DC and AC motors, being extremely compact and presents high performance. In this context, this work contributes to the power electronics area, presenting a design and construction of a low cost drive system, based on IRAM module, developed for individual or simultaneous drive, up to two DC motors. To carry out the experiments, DC motors responsible for moving a welding robot, were used. Experimental results are presented to shown the feasibility of using this system.
