- The partial average power as a fault diagnostic parameter applied to SRM drivesPublication . Gameiro, Natália S.; Cardoso, A. J. MarquesA new fault diagnostic parameter, applied to switched reluctance motor drives, is presented. The proposed parameter is a partial average power based on the power converter supply current and the rotor mechanical position information. At high speed operating conditions phase current is not regulated and the machine closed-loop control only needs to observe one current, which is the power converter supply current, in order to avoid excessive current amplitudes. The adopted control strategy is clearly explained. Several simulation results are presented and discussed considering different operating conditions. The normal operation, a fault occurrence in a power switch and a sudden mechanical load decrease are analysed. The simulation results permit to validate the proposed partial average power as an appropriate parameter for the diagnosis of an open-circuit fault in a power switch.
- Supply current polar chart analysis of SRM drives under normal and faulty operating conditionsPublication . S. Gameiro, Natália; A. J. Marques CardosoA polar chart of the power converter supply current, comprising phase currents and rotor mechanical position information, is presented, in order to characterize the dynamic operation of a SRM drive. Power converter supply current can be used as additional information of extreme importance when a sensor error or failure occurs. Its analysis is then important and permits to develop appropriate fault tolerant control strategies to solve failures or errors on phase current measurements. Time-domain waveforms of the phase currents and power converter supply current are presented and discussed. Two different speed operating conditions examples are presented, in order to understand the differences on SRM dynamic behavior in the all speed range. For both situations, the normal and the faulty operation due to the absence of one motor phase are analyzed. The adopted SRM control strategy, based on the electromagnetic torque regulation, is clearly explained for the all SRM speed range.
