A multiphase machine is more reliable than a three-phase one, but it usually shows reduced performance under faulty behaviour. In this paper, the performance in case of open-phase fault is analyzed, and two fault tolerant control algorithms, which aim to minimize the Joule losses in the remaining healthy phases, are compared. The proposed control techniques are validated by numerical simulations,...
This paper describes the development of a fault-tolerant, high specific output motor for use in aircraft electrical propulsion. The program includes demonstration of a full scale propulsion motor to a specification representative of an electric tail rotor drive on a medium twin-engine helicopter. The safety critical nature of the application demands a redundant system architecture comprising four...
The paper deals with ball screw actuators used for the electric steering of nose landing gears in civil aircrafts. Design options and performance analyses are carried out with reference to actuators composed by ball screws coupled with two multi-stage axial-flux permanent magnet motors, which are fed by two separate inverters. A redundant configuration of the drives is developed in order to increase...
This paper deals with a shaft-line-embedded multiphase electrical machine to be connected to the high-pressure shaft of an open-rotor jet engine. An asymmetrical six-phase induction machine (IM) is proposed for this application. The main focus of this paper is on the control of the six-phase IM, to verify its overload capabilities and postfault operations. The implemented control uses a direct-flux...
The demand for high reliability motor drives increases every day, especially in aircraft where traditional, nonelectric systems (hydraulic, pneumatic) are being replaced by electrical actuators following the More Electric Aircraft (MEA) trend. Electric drives for aerospace need a fault-tolerant design approach to achieve reliability objectives with optimized architectures reducing redundancies, over-sizing...
