A Fault Tolerance Method for Multiple Current Sensor Offset Faults in Grid-Connected Inverters

Three-phase grid-connected inverters have been widely used in the distributed generation system, and the current sensor has been applied in closed-loop control in inverters. When the current sensor offset faults occurs, partial fault features of multiple current sensors disappear from the closed-loo...

description Three-phase grid-connected inverters have been widely used in the distributed generation system, and the current sensor has been applied in closed-loop control in inverters. When the current sensor offset faults occurs, partial fault features of multiple current sensors disappear from the closed-loop control grid-connected system, which leads to difficulties for fault diagnostics and fault-tolerant control. This paper proposes a fault tolerance method based on average current compensation mode to eliminate these adverse effects of fault features. The average current compensation mode compensates the average of the three-phase current to the <i>αβ</i> axis current to realize the fault feature reconstruction of the current sensor. The mode does not affect the normal condition of the system. Then, the data-driven method is used for fault diagnosis, and the corresponding fault tolerant control model is selected according to the diagnosis results. Finally, the experimental results show that the proposed strategy has a good fault tolerance control performance and can improve the fault feature discrimination and diagnostic accuracy.
