Abstract:

The concept of fault-tolerance for electrical drives has been extensively explored from different angles, aiming to enhance the overall reliability of polyphase adjustable drives. Despite having different control perspectives, the goal has usually been pursued along the same path, which is to maintain a circular trajectory of air-gap flux in presence of open phase fault. Nevertheless, the structure, operating principles and underlying assumptions will manifest, to a large extent, into different challenges that will affect capability of the fault-tolerant controllers. In this webinar, an overview on the underlying principles of fault tolerant control for three-phase and multiphase machines is given. A couple of different fault-tolerant controllers applied on three- and six-phase drives will be presented to elucidate the various considerations required for fault tolerant drive using different current control techniques.
