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.

A fault-tolerant control technique is discussed for the Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) three-level inverter, which ensures that the NPC inverter operates normally even under device failures. A two-level leg is added to the NPC inverter; when the device open circuit fault occurs, the load of this faulty phase is connected to the neutral point of this two-level leg through the bidirectional thyristors. An improved Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) strategy called “addition and subtraction substitution SVPWM” is proposed to effectively suppress fluctuation in capacitor neutral-point voltages by readjusting the sequence and action time of voltage vectors. The fault-tolerant topology in this paper has the advantages of fewer switching devices and lower circuit costs. Experimental results show that the proposed fault-tolerant system can operate in balance of capacitor neutral-point voltages at full output power and the reliability of the inverter is greatly enhanced.

Multi-phase motors have attracted increasing attention in fields seeking high reliability, such as electric vehicles, ships, and rail transit, as they exhibit advantages, such as high reliability and fault tolerance. In this study, we consider a 12-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). First, a mathematical model of the 12-phase PMSM in the static coordinate system is established and the model is simplified according to the constraint condition of neutral point isolation. Second, according to the principle of invariant magnetomotive force under normal and fault conditions, two optimal control strategies of winding current, i.e. maximum torque output (MTO) and minimum copper consumption (MCC), are proposed. For a single-phase open-circuit fault, two optimization methods are used to reconstruct the residual phase current, such that the motor can maintain normal torque output and exhibit lower torque ripple under the fault state. Finally, system simulation and experimental research are conducted; the results verify the accuracy and feasibility of the fault-tolerant control strategy of the 12-phase PMSM proposed in this paper.

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.
