Fault Tolerant Neuro-Robust Position Control of DC Motors

Position Sensors Fault Tolerant Control System in BLDC Motors

Developing of fault tolerant control systems (FTCS’s) for permanent magnet Brushless DC (BLDC) motor drives to diagnose and handle various faults have been of the research concentrations in the last decade. In this paper a novel fault diagnosis algorithm for position sensors (Hall Effect sensors) failure of the BLDC motor is presented. Fault detection and identification of Hall Effect sensors a...

Sensor Fault Tolerant Control of Induction Motors

In this paper we propose a multiobserver switching control strategy for fault tolerant control of induction motors. The strategy combines three current sensors and associated observers that estimate the rotor flux. The estimates provided by the observers are compared at each sampling time by a switching mechanism which selects the sensors–observer pair with the smallest error between the estima...

Robust Fault-Tolerant Control

Fault Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control of Position Sensors for Switched Reluctance Motors

Position sensor is the key of exact commutation for switched reluctance motor (SRM). When position sensor is faulted, some phase information of commutation will be lost, causes torque decrease, affects the system reliability. Through the analysis of the fault position signals, a real-time diagnostic method that detected the edge sequences of position signals and calculated the angle between the...

Novel Robust Control Algorithm of DC Motors

In this paper, a novel speed control algorithm of DC motors is presented. The key contribution here is a simple speed controller only with speed feedback and without an inner current control loop. This is possible by adjusting the reference speed based on a certain rule. Therefore, the proposed speed controller here becomes simpler while maintaining the control performance. Moreover, with the p...
