The multi-phase motor drive system with multiple H-bridge power supply has high fault tolerance,which is widely used in aerospace,electric vehicle,ship integrated power system and other fields.In this paper,a fault-tolerant control strategy based on decoupling control and stator current compensation is proposed for the propulsion system of five-phase PMSM with independent neutrals.Firstly,the mathematical model of PMSM is established by using vector space decoupling method;Secondly,a stator current compensation method is adopted to carry out fault-tolerant control after the motor has single-phase and two-phase open-circuit faults and the fault-tolerant control system based on decoupling control is established;Finally,the decoupling control model and the fault-tolerant control of stator current compensation are verified by the simulation and experiment.The simulation and experiment results show that the method can reduce the torque ripple caused by the stator winding open-circuit fault,and the operation performance of the motor under fault condition is significantly improved.

Guaranteeing the Fault Transient Performance of Aerospace Multiphase Permanent Magnet Motor System: an Adaptive Robust Speed Control Approach

To enhance the fault transient performance of aerospace multiphase permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)system,an adaptive robust speed control is proposed regardless of the phase open-circuit(OC)and short-circuit(SC)fault in this paper,which can be applied for both the redundant motor system and fault tolerant motor system.For aerospace multiphase PMSM system,besides external load disturbance and system parameter perturbation,there inevitably exists the electromagnetic torque ripple in fault transient process,which can degrade the system performance and even cause the system instability.To cope with this issue,the electromagnet torque ripple of the multiphase PMSM system in fault transient process is first analyzed.Then,by considering the electromagnet torque fluctuation caused by fault transient as a system uncertainty,a novel adaptive robust speed control scheme is proposed,while the adaptive law is constructed to emulate the total system uncertainty bound,which include the load disturbance,the parameter variation,and the electromagnetic torque fluctuation due to fault transient.The resulting control can ensure the speed control performance even in fault transient process regardless of the uncertainty,in which no prior estimation of the uncertainty bound is required.In addition,the proposed adaptive robust speed control is demonstrated by a six-phase PMSM experimental platform.The novelty of this research is to explore a novel adaptive robust speed control to strengthen the fault tolerance performance of multiphase PMSM system even in fault transient process,which requires no prior estimation of the uncertainty bound.

Short-circuit fault-tolerant control for five-phase fault-tolerant permanent magnet motors with trapezoidal back-EMF

When a short-circuit fault occurs in a phase,the faulty phase needs to be removed artificially from the system because of the loss of the capability to generate torque.In this case,both the short-circuit current and phase-loss fault would generate additional torque ripples.In this study,a novel fault-tolerant control strategy is introduced to achieve low torque ripple operation of five-phase fault-tolerant permanent magnet synchronous motors with trapezoidal back electromotive force(FTPMSM-TEMF)in the event of a short-circuit fault.The key concept of this method is to compensate for the torque ripples caused by the short-circuit current and the adverse effect of the phase-loss.Based on the torque expression under fault conditions,the torque ripple caused by the short-circuit current can be offset by injecting a certain pulsating component into the torque expression in the phase-loss condition.This would result in smooth operation under fault conditions.Moreover,to track the fault-tolerant alternating currents,the model of the deadbeat current predictive control is extended and restructured for the fault condition.The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed fault-tolerant strategy are verified by experimental results.

Research on a six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor system at dual-redundant and fault tolerant modes in aviation application

With the development of more/all electrical aircraft technology, an electro-mechanical actuator（EMA） is more and more used in an aircraft actuation system. The motor system, as the crucial part of an EMA, usually adopts the redundancy technology or fault tolerance technology to improve the reliability. To compare the performances of these two motor systems, a 10-pole/12-slot six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor（PMSM） is designed with the concentrated single-layer winding, which is able to operate at dual-redundant and fault tolerant modes.Furthermore, the position servo performances of the six-phase PMSM at dual-redundant and fault tolerant modes are analyzed, including the normal and fault conditions. In addition, a variable structure proportional-integral-derivative（PID） control strategy is proposed to solve the performance degradation problem caused by phase current saturation. Simulation and experimental results show that the fault tolerant PMSM has a better position servo performance than the dual-redundant PMSM, and the variable structure PID control strategy is able to improve the performance due to phase current saturation.

A Survey on Fault Diagnosis and Fault Tolerant Methodologies for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of fault diagnosis and fault tolerant approaches for permanent magnet synchronous machines(PMSM).PMSMs are prominent in the pervading usage of electric motors,for their high efficiency,great robustness,reliability and low torque inertia.In spite of their extensive appliance,they can be quite non-resilient and inadequate in operation when faults appear in motor drive apparatus such as inverters,stator windings,sensors,etc.These may lead to insulation failure,torque fluctuations,overcurrent or even system collapse.On that account,fault diagnosis and fault tolerant methods are equipped to enhance the stability and robustness in PMSMs.Progressive methodologies of PMSM fault diagnosis and tolerance are classified,discussed,reviewed and compared in this paper,beginning with mat hematical modeling of PMSM and then scrutinizing various fault conditions in PMSMs.Finally,the scope of research on the topic is highlighted.The contribution of this review is to emphasize optimistic schemes and to assist researchers with the latest trends in this field for future directions.

Rule-based Fault Diagnosis of Hall Sensors and Fault-tolerant Control of PMSM

Hall sensor is widely used for estimating rotor phase of permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). And rotor position is an essential parameter of PMSM control algorithm, hence it is very dangerous if Hall senor faults occur. But there is scarcely any research focusing on fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of Hall sensor used in PMSM. From this standpoint, the Hall sensor faults which may occur during the PMSM operating are theoretically analyzed. According to the analysis results, the fault diagnosis algorithm of Hall sensor, which is based on three rules, is proposed to classify the fault phenomena accurately. The rotor phase estimation algorithms, based on one or two Hall sensor(s), are initialized to engender the fault-tolerant control algorithm. The fault diagnosis algorithm can detect 60 Hall fault phenomena in total as well as all detections can be fulfilled in 1/138 rotor rotation period. The fault-tolerant control algorithm can achieve a smooth torque production which means the same control effect as normal control mode (with three Hall sensors). Finally, the PMSM bench test verifies the accuracy and rapidity of fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control strategies. The fault diagnosis algorithm can detect all Hall sensor faults promptly and fault-tolerant control algorithm allows the PMSM to face failure conditions of one or two Hall sensor(s). In addition, the transitions between health-control and fault-tolerant control conditions are smooth without any additional noise and harshness. Proposed algorithms can deal with the Hall sensor faults of PMSM in real applications, and can be provided to realize the fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control of PMSM.

In this paper,a robust torque speed estimator(RTSE)for linear parameter changing(LPC)system is proposed and designed for an encoderless five-phase permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor(5-phase PMa-SynRM).This estimator is utilized for estimating the rotor speed and the load torque as well as can solve the speed sensor fault problem,as the feedback speed information is obtained directly from the virtual sensor.In addition,this technique is able to enhance the 5-phase PMa-SynRM performance by estimating the load torque for the real time compensation.The stability analysis of the proposed estimator is performed via Schur complement along with Lyapunov analysis.Furthermore,for improving the 5-phase PMa-SynRM performance,five super-twisting sliding mode controllers(ST-SMCs)are employed with providing a robust response without the impacts of high chattering problem.A super-twisting sliding mode speed controller(ST-SMSC)is employed for controlling the PMa-SynRM rotor speed,and four super-twisting sliding mode current controllers(ST-SMCCs)are employed for controlling the 5-phase PMa-SynRM currents.The stability analysis and the experimental results indicate the effectiveness along with feasibility of the proposed RTSE and the ST-SMSC with ST-SMCCs approach for a 750-W 5-phase PMa-SynRM under load disturbance,parameters variations,single open-phase fault,and adjacent two-phase open circuit fault conditions.

This paper presents an investigation of inverter fault-tolerant operation for a permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)direct torque control(DTC)system under various inverter faults.The performance of a faulty standard 6-switch inverter driven PMSM DTC system is analyzed.To avoid the loss or even disaster caused by the inverter faults,a topology-modified inverter with fault-tolerant capability is introduced,which is reconfigured as a 3-phase 4-switch inverter.The modeling of the 4-switch inverter is then analyzed and a novel DTC strategy with a unique nonlinear perpendicular flux observer and feedback compensation scheme is proposed for obtaining a continuous,disturbance-free drive system.The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed inverter fault-tolerant PMSM DTC system is able to operate stably and continuously with acceptable static and pretty good dynamic performance.

Visualization for Explanation of Deep Learning-Based Fault Diagnosis Model Using Class Activation Map

Permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM)is widely used in various production processes because of its high efficiency,fast reaction time,and high power density.With the continuous promotion of new energy vehicles,timely detection of PMSM faults can significantly reduce the accident rate of new energy vehicles,further enhance consumers’trust in their safety,and thus promote their popularity.Existing fault diagnosis methods based on deep learning can only distinguish different PMSM faults and cannot interpret and analyze them.Convolutional neural networks(CNN)show remarkable accuracy in image data analysis.However,due to the“black box”problem in deep learning models,the diagnostic results regarding providing accurate information to the user are uncertain.This paper proposes a motor fault diagnosis method based on improved deep residual network(ResNet)and gradient-weighted class activation mapping(Grad-CAM)to analyze demagnetization and eccentricity faults of permanent magnet synchronous motors,and the uncertainty limitation of fault diagnosis based on the convolutional neural network is overcome by the visual interpretation method.The improved ResNet is formed by using ResNet9 as the backbone network,replacing the last convolution layer with a atrous spatial pyramid pooling(ASPP),and adding a multi-scale feature fusion module and attention channel mechanism(CAM).The proposed model not only retains the effective extraction of image features by ResNet9 but also enhances the sensitivity field of the network through the hollow convolution pyramid and realizes the feature fusion of the web on different scales through the multi-scale feature fusion module(MSFFM),further improving the diagnostic accuracy of the network on different types of fault features.The diagnostic effect of the network is verified on the selfmade data set,which mainly includes five states:normal(He),25%demagnetization(De25),50%demagnetization(De50),10%static eccentricity(Se10),and 20%static eccentricity(Se20).The number of pictures in the training set is 6000,and the number in the test set is 1500.The average diagnostic accuracy of the improved ResNet on this dataset is 99.00%,which is 1.04%,8.89%,4.58%,and 7.22%higher than that of the multi-column convolutional neural network(MCNN),Bi-directional long short-term memory(Bi-LSTM),deep belief network(DBN),and recurrent neural network(RNN)models,respectively.Finally,gradient activation heat maps were used to globally average pool the final output feature map of the network to obtain feature weights.They were superimposed with the original image to get gradient activation heat maps of different grayscale images.The warmer the tone of the heat map,the greater the impact on the network diagnosis results,and then the demagnetization and eccentricity fault characteristics of the permanent magnet synchronous motor were determined-visual characterization of quantitative analysis.
