Current Trajectory-Based Fault Detection and Fault Tolerant Control for Three-phase Induction Drives
Abstract
In this paper, a simple and fast open-phase fault (OPF) detection and fault tolerant control method is proposed for three-phase induction machine. Instead of using integrators or low pass filter, this method utilizes the phase current magnitude and trajectory to detect open phase fault in three-phase motor drive. This significantly increases the speed of fault detection, allowing an OPF to be detected and compensated within several sampling cycles, which is advantageous for safety-critical applications. In addition, a double synchronous reference frame PI (DSRF-PI) controller method is adopted as the fault tolerant controller. Compared to previous methods that utilizes feedforward voltage compensation, the DSRF-PI does not require prior knowledge on the machine parameters and operating condition, and therefore is easier to implement. The proposed fault detection and fault tolerant control method are simulated using MATLAB Simulink simulation where the results confirms the high speed and robustness of the proposed methods.
