Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this paper, analysis and design of fault-tolerant converter topology for direct torque-controlled (DTC) induction motor (IM) drive suitable for low, medium and high power applications is proposed. The proposed converter topology can restore normal operation of the drive after the occurrence of open-circuit or short-circuit of power switches in the inverter. It consists of a current-controlled three-level boost converter (TLBC) to boost the dc-link voltage at input terminals of an inverter during post-fault, balance the voltages at dc-link capacitors and retains all the advantages of the conventional IM drive. Simulation and experimental results are presented for pre- and post-fault operation. The results are compared with conventional fault-tolerant DTC of the drive to highlight the merits of proposed converter.
