Abstract
In this paper, a novel multiphase reconfigurable and fault-tolerant drive converter topology is proposed for driver with fail-work capability, and fault-tolerant strategies are proposed for open-circuit and short-circuit faults in the single-phase windings, aiming to improve the motor drive system's fail-work ability in the high reliability applications. The drive converter topology can isolate open-circuit and short-circuit faults in power supplies, power devices, or switches. Then, it can reconfigure the drive circuit topology from independent H-bridge to star type by reconfigurable switches and power devices, according to the fault-type and the fault-tolerant truth tables. After reconfiguration, remedial operation will be utilized for open- and short-circuit faults of windings, so that the motor system has twofold fail-work capabilities in driver and windings. Finally, based on a series of experiments on a transit co-simulation model and test bench, the effectiveness and validity of fault-tolerant capability and the strategies are verified, and has twofold fail-work remedy.
