The invention relates to a displacement sensor fault-tolerant
control system and method of an active electromagnetic bearing, and belong to the technical field of
magnetic bearing sensor control. Thedisplacement sensor fault-tolerant
control system comprises a displacement estimator, a fault
detector and a switcher; the displacement estimator estimates rotor displacement in real time; the fault
detector detects a sudden fault of a displacement sensor; and the switcher selects one-way
signal in a rotor displacement
signal from the displacement sensor and a rotor displacement
estimation signalfrom the displacement estimator to be sent to a controller. The sudden fault of the displacement sensor is quickly detected through specially-designed
wavelet filter, the rotor displacement
signal isprovided after the sensor fault through a self-sensing technology of the active electromagnetic bearing, thus under the premise of not increasing the number of the displacement sensor and changing anelectromagnetic bearing body structure, the situation that the electromagnetic bearing loses
efficacy due to the fault of the displacement sensor is avoided, and stable operation of the electromagnetic bearing is guaranteed. According to the method, the using efficiency of
system hardware is greatly improved, and the cost is lowered.
