Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of AC motor and drive control technology, in particular to a three-phase series winding AC motor drive topology fault-tolerant reconstruction circuit and a switching method. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development of motor drive systems in electric vehicles, drones, industrial robots, and other applications places increasing demands on the performance of these systems. Currently, the most popular AC motor drive topologies include conventional three-phase inverters connected to Y-type motors, dual-inverter open-winding motor topologies, and three-phase series winding topologies. The traditional single inverter connected to the Y-type motor drive system, a single inverter connected to the Y-type load, includes three bridge arms, its topology is simple, and has no fault-tolerant operation capability; the dual inverter open winding motor topology opens the neutral point of the Y-type connected motor stator winding, and the two ends of the winding are powered by two inverters respectively. The inverter utilization rate is high and can output multiple levels. The topology structure is redundant and has fault-tolerant operation capability, but the number of switches is large, the cost is high, and the control is complex; the three-phase series winding topology opens the neutral point of the motor's three-phase stator winding and connects the three-phase winding in series. At the same time, a bridge arm is added to the traditional three-phase inverter to form a three-phase four-bridge arm structure. It is a new type of motor controller topology. Without weakening the magnetic field, the speed range of the three-phase series winding topology is increased, the fault tolerance performance is improved, and the switching device demand is less. It has good driving performance and prospects for industrial application.

[0003] The introduction of power electronic controllers increases the likelihood of motor drive system failures. However, reliability is a key indicator for evaluating motor drive system performance. Therefore, it is increasingly important for three-phase motor systems to be able to operate fault-tolerantly after a fault occurs. There are seven typical fault conditions in the three-phase series winding topology, including four-bridge arm faults and three-winding faults. When a phase winding or two side bridge arms of the controller are open-circuited, the motor can achieve fault-tolerant operation in two-phase mode when driven by four bridge arms, but the output capacity will be reduced. When the two middle bridge arms of the controller are open-circuited, the same current flows through the two windings, and the motor cannot generate smooth torque. Additional circuits are required to obtain the same structure as the previous type of fault in order to achieve fault-tolerant operation.

[0004] Therefore, the current topological fault-tolerant control strategy for three-phase series-winding AC motor drives is difficult to cover all possible fault types such as open circuit and short circuit that may occur in the driver bridge arm and motor stator winding. Summary of the Invention
