Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of motor control technology, specifically relating to a method for diagnosing inter-turn faults in a permanent magnet synchronous motor based on high-frequency impedance. Background Technology

[0002] The high efficiency and high power density of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have led to their increasingly widespread application. However, due to the uncontrollable flux linkage of permanent magnets, large fault currents can be generated when inter-turn short circuits occur in the windings of PMSMs, severely affecting the safe and reliable operation of the motor and its drive system. To improve the application of PMSMs in high-reliability systems such as aerospace and electric vehicles, it is necessary to perform rapid and reliable detection of inter-turn short circuit faults to prevent further deterioration and to provide a foundation for subsequent fault-tolerant operation of the motor. Currently, many scholars have conducted research on inter-turn short circuit fault diagnosis methods.

[0003] Existing inter-turn short-circuit fault diagnosis technologies for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) mostly rely on detection equipment or added hardware structures. Detection equipment methods often require the motor to be stopped for testing, while adding hardware structures increases the cost of the motor drive system. To save on hardware costs and achieve real-time protection of the stator windings of PMSMs, online diagnosis of inter-turn faults in PMSMs is necessary. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a method for diagnosing inter-turn faults in permanent magnet synchronous motors based on high-frequency impedance, thereby solving the technical problems in the prior art.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for diagnosing inter-turn faults in a permanent magnet synchronous motor based on high-frequency impedance includes the following steps:

[0007] Inject a three-phase symmetrical high-frequency voltage into the control system;

[0008] Collect three-phase current and extract the high-frequency components from the three-phase current;

[0009] The three-phase voltage is calculated using the inverter's drive signal, and the high-frequency components in the three-phase voltage are extracted.

[0010] The high-frequency components of the three-phase current and the three-phase voltage are used to calculate the three-phase high-frequency impedance.

[0011] By comparing the three-phase high-frequency impedances, it can be determined whether the motor has experienced an inter-turn fault.

[0012] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the high-frequency voltage is as follows:

[0013]

[0014] Among them, u ah u bh u ch These are the injected three-phase high-frequency voltages, u h θ represents the amplitude of the injected high-frequency voltage. h The phase angle for injecting high-frequency voltage.

[0015] Furthermore, the steps for extracting the high-frequency components from the three-phase current are as follows:

[0016] S21, assuming the injected high-frequency voltage frequency is kHz, i p Multiplying (p = a, b, c) by sinkθ and coskθ respectively yields the high-frequency component and DC component at 2kHz:

[0017]

[0018] Among them, i p For p-phase current, I ph Let θ be the amplitude of the p-phase high-frequency current, and θ be the rotor angle. pi The initial phase angle of the phase current;

[0019] S22 filters out high-frequency components using a low-pass filter, thus allowing the DC component to be obtained. and

[0020] S23. Calculate the root mean square (RMS) of the DC component obtained in S22, sum the results, and multiply by 2 to obtain the amplitude of the high-frequency component of phase p; the calculation formula is:

[0021]

[0022] Further, the steps for calculating the three-phase voltages include:

[0023] S31 calculates the voltage to ground at the midpoint of the three-phase bridge arm of the inverter using the drive signal of the power transistor;

[0024] S32 obtains the three-phase voltage of the motor through the ground voltage at the midpoint of the three-phase bridge arm of the inverter.

[0025] Furthermore, in S31, the formula for calculating the voltage to ground at the midpoint of the three-phase bridge arm of the inverter is:

[0026]

[0027] Among them, u ag u bg u cgS1 and S3 are the voltages to ground at the midpoints of the three-phase bridge arms of the inverter, respectively, and S1-S3 are the drive signals for the three upper transistors of the inverter. These are the inverses of the drive signals for the three lower transistors of the inverter, u. dc This is the DC bus voltage.

[0028] Furthermore, when the motor is in a healthy state, the formula for calculating the three-phase voltage is:

[0029]

[0030] Among them, u an u bn u cn These are the three-phase voltages.

[0031] Furthermore, when an inter-turn fault occurs in the motor, the formula for calculating the three-phase voltage is:

[0032]

[0033] Among them, u an_f u bn_f u cn_f These are the three-phase voltages after the fault, R is the phase resistance, μ is the short-circuit turns ratio, and i f For short-circuit current, L σ For motor leakage inductance;

[0034] It is evident that an additional identical bias component appears in the three-phase voltage after the fault. Therefore, the three-phase voltage can still be calculated and the high-frequency component extracted using the voltage formula under healthy conditions. The steps for extracting the high-frequency component from the three-phase voltage are as follows:

[0035] Further, the steps for calculating the three-phase voltages include:

[0036] The calculated three-phase voltage u pn Multiplying (p = a, b, c) by sinkθ and coskθ respectively yields the high-frequency component and DC component at 2 kHz.

[0037]

[0038] Among them, u pn For the p-phase voltage, U pnh Let θ be the amplitude of the p-phase high-frequency current, and θ be the rotor angle. pu The initial phase angle of the phase voltage;

[0040] The root mean square (RMS) of the DC component obtained after low-pass filtering is calculated, and the sum of the RMS results is multiplied by 2 to obtain the amplitude of the high-frequency voltage of phase p; the calculation formula is:

[0041]

[0042] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the three-phase high-frequency impedance is:

[0043]

[0044] Among them, Z ah Z bh Z ch These are the three-phase high-frequency impedances.

[0045] Furthermore, the steps for determining inter-turn faults include:

[0046] The maximum and minimum values ​​of the three-phase high-frequency impedance are defined as Z. max =max{Z ah Z bh Z ch}、Z min =min{Z ah Z bh Z ch};

[0047] If Z max -Z min If Z < ε, the system determines that the permanent magnet synchronous motor is operating normally; if Z max -Z min If ≥ε, the system determines that an inter-turn fault has occurred in the permanent magnet synchronous motor.

[0048] A fault diagnosis system for inter-turn permanent magnet synchronous motors based on high-frequency impedance, comprising:

[0049] Voltage input module: Injects a three-phase symmetrical high-frequency voltage into the control system;

[0050] Current component extraction module: Collects three-phase current and extracts the high-frequency components from the three-phase current;

[0086] When the motor is in a healthy state, the following exists:

[0087] u an +u bn +u cn =0

[0088] Therefore, we can conclude that:

[0089]

[0090] When an inter-turn fault occurs in the motor, the three-phase voltage equations become:

[0091]

[0092] Where R is the phase resistance, L a L b L c These are three-phase self-inductance, Mab M ac M bc The AB phase, AC phase, and BC phase are mutually inductive, respectively. a e b e c These are the three back potentials, μ is the short-circuit turns ratio, and i f This is the short-circuit current;

[0093] At this time, the following exists:

[0094]

[0095] We can obtain:

[0096]

[0097] Therefore, the three-phase voltage equations after an inter-turn fault can be obtained as follows:
