Experimental Validation of Current Sensors Fault Detection and Tolerant Control Strategy for Three-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives

This paper presents the experimental validation of a Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) system for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives, specifically focusing on current sensors. The FTC system is designed to detect and diagnose both single and multiple faults in the current sensors and to reconfigure the control loop to ensure uninterrupted operation in the presence of such faults. Several crucial aspects are addressed in the proposed approach, including fault detection, isolation of faulty sensors, and reconfiguration of the control system through accurate current estimation. To achieve this, a novel adaptation of the Luenberger observer is proposed and employed for estimating the stator currents. The effectiveness of the fault-tolerant control strategy is demonstrated through experimental tests conducted on a 7.2 kW PMSM utilizing a field-oriented vectorial strategy implemented in a dSpace 1104 platform.
