To address both single open-switch fault (OSF) and arbitrary two OSFs of a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive, a generalized fault-tolerant model predictive current control method is proposed in this article. Firstly, the postfault currents under OSFs are analyzed in the stationary frame based on the Fourier method. Then, to maintain torque output capacity and alleviate torque ripple, the optimal reference currents in fault scenarios are deduced with the principle of rotating magnetic motive force undisturbed. Further, the obtained phase currents are transformed into the rotating frame and applied in the cost function for the voltage vector optimization. Thus, the torque under post-fault operations is guaranteed and the torque ripples are suppressed. Finally, various experiments are conducted to validate the feasibility of the generalized fault-tolerant control method of five-phase PMSM drives.

As a member of stator permanent magnet (PM) brushless machines, flux-switching (FS) PM machine features outstanding advantages, e.g., robust rotor structure, easy temperature management, high torque density, etc. In this paper, the five-phase FSPM machines for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) applications are investigated. Firstly, the working principle of such machine is analyzed by air-gap field modulation theory. Then, the feasible slot/pole combination is discussed, considering flux leakage, back electro-magnetic force (EMF) quality and unbalanced magnetic force (UMF). Besides, in order to further choose the recommendable slot/pole combination, the torque performances are studied and compared by taking the 20-stators-slot FSPM machines as examples, such as rated torque, overload capability, flux weakening capability and fault tolerance capability. Further, in order to optimize the slot/pole combination which suffers from severe UMF, two different techniques for UMF reduction are proposed, including chamfering both in stator and rotor side. Finally, finite element analysis is employed to verify the analytical analyses. Meanwhile, a 20/18 prototyped machine is manufactured and tested. It is found that the experimental results verify the effectiveness of the analytical analyses.

In this article, a fault-tolerant model predictive current control method is proposed to improve the fault-tolerant ability of a five-phase permanent synchronous magnet motor drive under single and multiple open-circuit faults operations. On the principle of the optimal current control, general reference currents are derived to suppress torque ripples. To obtain the reference currents, a Fast Fourier Transformation-based current estimation model is established. The torque ripple can be reduced by modifying the reference currents in the d3-q3 axis transformed from the estimation model. Finally, experimental results validate the effectiveness of the developed fault-tolerant control strategy and the robustness against operating points and motor parameter mismatches.

In this paper, superposition methods including the superposition of a single stator tooth and the superposition of a single rotor tooth, are proposed to predict the open-circuit performances of flux-reversal permanent magnet (FRPM) machines. By the proposed superposition methods, the electromagnetic performances, such as air-gap flux density, electromotive force, cogging torque, and unbalanced magnetic pull (UMP) are investigated and verified by 2D finite element analysis (FEA). Further, according to the superposition methods, cogging torque reduction techniques can be acquired from both stator side and rotor side. In addition, the influence of stator-slot/rotor-pole-pairs (slot/pole) combination on UMP is also studied, and consequently, a reasonable slot/pole combination rule is suggested to avoid UMP. Then, an improved configuration for UMP reduction is also investigated and verified by FEA. Finally, the prototype machines are manufactured and tested to further verify the theoretical analysis and FEA predictions.

... With the merits of high torque density and high efficiency, permanent magnet (PM) machines have been extensively investigated and widely applied in many industry fields, such as in electrical vehicles, wind power generations, and traction systems [1][2][3][4]. According to the different placements of PMs, PM machines can be divided into rotor-PM [5] and stator-PM [6,7] machines. As a special topology of stator-PM machines, flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machines have attracted much attention because of their characteristics such as good heat dissipation, high rotor robustness, easy manufacturing, and highly sinusoidal back-EMF waveform [8][9][10]. ...

... In particular, although nonsinusoidal back-EMF may be obtained with other types of windings, it is especially easy to produce in PMSMs with concentrated windings (containing large winding-function harmonics). These windings also offer several attractive features when using fractional slot perpole-per-phase number that make them powerful candidates for electric vehicles [31], [32], despite their typically low (negligible) saliency ratio [2], [33], [34]. They exhibit high slot fill factor and power density [32], [35], low manufacturing cost [28], [29], [35] and cogging torque [35], [36], short end windings [28], [31], [35], [37], better filtering of undesired current harmonics [8], enhanced isolation between windings and tolerance to short-circuit faults [2], [34], [37], etc. ...

... Based on the result-to-reason prospect, the torque disturbance can be extracted from the speed ripple with the corresponding component, which is independent of the motor electrical model. The ILC method is generally used to track the repetitive or periodic system with a fixed period by iterating the previous signal, which is in parallel with the proportional-integral (PI) speed controller to generate the current reference [18], [19]. However, the fundamental is the main component of the load torque for single rolling rotor compressor, which can be obtained first to enhance the iteration effect. ...

... The general consensus of existing literature is that the cogging torque of FSPM machines is relatively large due to the unique double salient structure and high air-gap flux density, as shown in Fig. 1(b)-(d). As a consequence, FSPM machines exhibit higher torque ripple than traditional PM machines, which degrades control performance and causes erratic operation [14], [15]. ...
