Abstract
In this article, a new fault-tolerant control strategy for a triple redundant 3 × 3 phase permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor under a single-phase open-circuit fault has been proposed. In order to reduce the cost of the system, a two-level three-phase inverter is constructed to drive the parallel-connected motor under normal and fault-tolerant conditions. In normal operations, the current and torque are equally distributed to the three modules of the motor, while in a fault-tolerant state, they should be redistributed according to a specific ratio. The optimal ratio is obtained by investigating the control strategy of minimum copper loss and minimum torque ripple. The torque ripple of the normal module is increased to offset the torque ripple of the fault module, thereby reducing the total electromagnetic torque ripple after the failure. It means that no auxiliary switching devices need to be added even if the failure happened, which can significantly reduce the complexity and improve the reliability of the control system. To verify the theoretical analysis, simulations and experiments have been conducted. The results are in good agreement with that of theoretical analysis.
