Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of motor control technology and relates to a sensorless fault-tolerant method for open-circuit faults, specifically a sensorless control method for dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors for single-phase open-circuit faults. Background Technology
[0002] Existing sensorless fault-tolerant methods applicable to open-circuit faults are mainly divided into two categories: The first category reconstructs the back EMF observation results in two subspaces to extract the back EMF component containing accurate rotor position information under open-circuit conditions; the second category analyzes the harmonic components of the back EMF introduced by the open-circuit fault and filters out these harmonics based on the notch filter principle, thereby ensuring the accuracy of rotor position estimation.
[0003] However, the aforementioned methods primarily focus on improving the accuracy of position calculation under open-circuit faults, while their effectiveness in improving system performance issues such as torque fluctuations caused by the fault is relatively limited. Therefore, the overall performance of existing sensorless control methods still falls short of the requirements for high-reliability applications, necessitating the development of more effective sensorless control strategies applicable to fault conditions to overcome current technological bottlenecks. Summary of the Invention
