Sensorless Fault-Tolerant Control of an Induction Motor Based Electric Vehicle

This paper describes a sensorless fault-tolerant control (FTC) for a high-performance induction motor drive that propels an electric-vehicle (EV). The effect of the fault on the induction motor (IM) can be modeled by an exogenous signal from a stable autonomous system. An additive term is added to the nominal offset and serves to control the effect of the defect (FTC aspect). The proposed sensorless FTC for IM is realized in presence of both rotor and stator electrical faults. Consequently, the extended kalman filter (EKF) is proposed to estimate the rotor flux and the rotor speed using the measured stator currents and voltages. Therefore, a classical EV traction system is studied using an induction motor drive. Indeed, the induction motor based powertrain is coupled to DC machine-based load torque emulator taking into account the electric vehicle mechanics and aerodynamics. Simulation and experimental results confirm widely the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed FTC of IM based SMC in the electric vehicle application.
