The five-phase fault-tolerant flux-switching permanent magnet (FT-FSPM) motor can offer high efficiency and high fault-tolerant capability. In this paper, its operation principle is presented briefly and its mathematical model is derived. Further, a new adaptive control for an FT-FSPM motor, based on the backstepping method and the sliding mode control strategy, is proposed. According to the backstepping method, the current controllers and voltage control laws are designed to track the speed and minimize the current static error, which enhance the dynamic response and the ability to suppress external disturbances. In order to overcome the influence of parameter variations, according to sliding mode control theory, the virtual control variables and the adaptive algorithm are utilized to approach uncertainty terms. Three Lyapunov functions are designed, and the stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed in detail. Finally, both simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the proposed control method.

Abstract:A fault-tolerant permanent-magnet vernier (FT-PMV) machine incorporates the merits of high fault-tolerant capability and high torque density. In this paper, a new remedial control is proposed for a five-phase FT-PMV machine with short-circuit fault of stator windings. Based on the principle of copper loss minimization, the aims of the proposed control strategy are to keep magnetic motive force (MMF) unchanged and minimize torque ripple. The proposed remedial control strategy contains two parts. Firstly, the remedial currents of the healthy phases are used to compensate for the ripple of MMF caused by the short-circuit current. Secondly, an open-circuit fault-tolerant control strategy is used to compensate for the lack of normal torque in the fault phase. Finally, the vector sum of two parts is adopted to derive the remedial currents. The final expression of the proposed remedial current is simpler than that than these previous methods. In addition, the proposed remedial currents are sinusoidal, which can reduce the reactive component in instantaneous power produced by pulsating torque and iron loss of a sine back-EMF machine. A FT-PMV prototype is built. The simulations and the experiments verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
