Single- And Two-Phase Open-Circuit Fault Tolerant Control For Dual Three-Phase Pm Motor Without Phase Shifting

A fault tolerant control strategy for dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (DTP-PMSM) with 0 degrees phase shifting between two windings is proposed in this paper. When a DTP-PMSM suffers from single- or two-phase open-circuit fault, to maintain the torque performance, current in faulty phase must be compensated by other healthy phases, which causes asymmetric self- and mutual inductances. Therefore, the 2(nd) harmonic component can be observed in the dq-axis currents and torque ripple also increases. To analyse this harmonic component in two types of faults, post-fault model of no-phase-shifting DTP-PMSM based on vector space decomposition (VSD) method is built in this paper. Then, proportion-integral-resonant (PIR) controller which can be used to suppress the specific periodic disturbance is applied to compensate the 2(nd) harmonic components. As the resonant controller is rarely dependent on motor parameters, phase and amplitude of current harmonic, the PIR controller can be applied in no-phase-shifting DTP-PMSM to suppress the harmonic caused by single- and two-phase open-circuit faults. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed fault tolerant control under single- and two-phase open-circuit faulty conditions.
