This paper proposes two fault tolerant power converter permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive topologies. A reconfigured conventional DC link/two-level VSI converter and a reconfigured conventional matrix converter are presented to improve the reliability of the drive system under open phase fault operating condition. Additional phase redundancy and its control technique are included. Simulation...
This paper presents a fuzzy adaptive control scheme for automatic control of excitation angles in switched-reluctance motor (SRM) drives. A turn-on and turn-off angles play important roles in developing electromagnetic torque in SRM. The value of excitation angles are usually variable and depend upon the motor speed and other parameters of the inverter that excites the SRM. As the motor speed increases...
A coupled system simulator, based on analytical circuit equations and a finite element method (FEM) model of the motor, is used to analyze a direct-torque-controlled (DTC) frequency-converter-fed industrial 200 kW squirrel-cage induction motor. The measured stator voltage waveforms are used as inputs to the FEM motor model, and the results are compared with the measured ones. Comparison is also made...
This paper presents a modified direct torque control scheme for matrix converter drives. This method allows a reduction of the harmonic content of the input current without any negative effect on the drive performance and its simplicity. By using two switching configurations at each cycle, the synthesis of the input current vector is more accurate than the previous method at the same sampling period,...
The rationalization of the power sources in aircraft has led to the replacement of conventional systems by electrical ones. These new architectures have given rise to new technological needs. Indeed, power electronics is necessary to control the electrical motors. The loads are mainly the compressors for the Environmental Control System that manages the pressurization and the cooling of the aircraft...

A small scale experiment was conducted to verify the proposed system...
This paper reports on inverter nonlinearity effects on sensorless control methods based on high-frequency signal injection (HF-injection). Inverter output voltage distortions and their influence on position detection are described analytically and their compensation is discussed. Furthermore it is pointed out that the effects of inverter nonlinearities on sensorless control depend on whether the rotating...
Power converters operated in unsymmetrical three-phase electrical systems will generally work asymmetrically. This introduces disadvantages for the operation of the electrical power system, such as non-characteristic harmonics in voltage and current. In this paper, a method is presented to control the behavior of electrical equipment based on line-commutated current converters using unsymmetrical...
This paper deals with the control of a medium voltage 3 level inverter supplying a high speed induction machine via a Sinus filter. The sinus filter dynamic impacts the global model, and induce a resonance frequency, that has to be managed to ensure the global stability. Two control methods are presented with site experimental results of 6 MW 10000 rpm application.
This document describes the implementation of the model predictive direct torque control (MPDTC) algorithm for the control of three-phase induction motor drives comprising a three-level dc-link inverter with an output LC filter. As the filter introduces delays in the system, the motor torque and flux are no longer directly controllable. Therefore the inverter torque and flux are introduced and the...
The present paper addresses the control of doubly fed induction generators under unbalanced voltage sags considering the converter limits. A control strategy is proposed by choosing certain current reference values in the positive and negative sequences so that the torque and the DC voltage are kept stable during such unbalanced sags considering the converter limits.

It is proved from the definition of the maximum torque control frame and evaluated by experimental results.

The reference voltage vectors are generated by a SVM unit,...
Incipient fault detection and isolation (FDI) in the current sensors of a controlled induction motor is addressed by an original diagnosis system based exclusively on the three-phase signals model. In this way we avoid a reduction in the performance of the FDI system due to the uncertainty in the machine model. Assuming that the three current signals are measured, the proposed FDI system is made of...
