Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to motor fault diagnosis technology, and more particularly to a fault diagnosis method and system for an electrically excited brushless synchronous starter / generator (hereinafter referred to as an electrically excited starter / generator) rotating rectifier. Background Technology

[0002] The "dual-carbon" goal places higher demands on the development of multi / all-electric aircraft. Among these, breakthroughs are urgently needed in high-capacity, high-reliability integrated starter-generator technology. Electrically excited brushless synchronous motors have become a key research focus due to their mature power generation technology, controllable excitation, and widespread application in aviation power systems. An electrically excited starter-generator mainly consists of coaxially mounted auxiliary exciter, exciter, rotating rectifier, and main motor, etc. Figure 1 As shown. The electrically excited generator has the following operating characteristics: 1. The excitation winding of the exciter adopts a multi-phase (two-phase or three-phase) winding structure to achieve high excitation output capability; 2. It is equipped with a position sensor to provide position information for starting control.

[0003] The exciter provides excitation current to the main motor via a rotating rectifier. Therefore, the failure of the rotating rectifier is crucial to the normal starting of the aero-engine and the output of electrical energy to the grid. Due to its coaxial mounting with the main motor, the rotating rectifier experiences significant centrifugal force and thermal stress from the harsh working environment, including rotation, high temperature, and vibration, resulting in a much higher failure rate than other components. To ensure the normal operation of the system, researching online fault diagnosis methods for the rotating rectifier is of great importance. The rotating rectifier consists of six power diodes. In practical applications, most rotating rectifier failures are open-circuit or short-circuit faults of a single diode, requiring the system to make accurate diagnoses and take appropriate measures when a single diode fails.
