Fault-tolerant field-oriented control method of five-phase interior permanent-magnet linear motor under two nonadjacent short-circuit phase faults

Abstract

The invention proposes a fault-tolerant field-oriented control method of five-phase interior permanent-magnet fault-tolerant linear motor (IPM-FTLM) with two nonadjacent short-circuit phase faults. Firstly, the extended Clark transformation matrix can be obtained according to the principle that magnetic motive force (MMF) keeps constant before and after the two-phase open-circuit faults, the constraint that the sum of healthy phase currents is zero and the adjacent two-phase current amplitude is equal. The back electric motive force (EMF) can be estimated by the transposed matrix. The nonlinear strong coupling system becomes the first-order inertia system when using the internal mode controller, the first-order inertia feed-forward voltage compensator and back-EMF observer, as the motor is with fault. Then, according to the principle that the sum of MMF of the healthy phase short-circuit compensation currents and two phases short-circuit fault currents is zero, the short-circuit compensation voltage can be obtained, and then these voltages add vector-controller output voltages, respectively. The invention not only restrains the thrust force fluctuation caused by two nonadjacent short-circuit phase faults, but also more importantly keeps the same dynamic and steady performance as the normal conditions, and also it has the constant switching frequency of voltage source inverter.
