description | Recently, a dual inverter motor drive feeding an open-end winding permanent magnet (PM) motor has been studied, aiming for the improvement of total efficiency and a fault tolerant function of hybrid and electric vehicles. The authors have studied the fault tolerant operation of the DC-bus battery, where the failed inverter is operated only with a capacitor across the DC-bus and a space vector modulation (SVM) is employed to regulate the capacitor voltage. In our previous research, the SVM techniques for the fault tolerant operation in a low-modulation-index have been proposed. However, it was difficult to have fault tolerance in a high-modulation-index case. The voltage margin in the fault situation is limited because the failed inverter is operated with the capacitor. In this paper, the SVM technique to achieve the fault tolerant operation in the high-modulation-index state is investigated. The novel point of this paper is that the proposed technique introduces a field-weakening control in order to reduce the command voltage vector within the controllable voltage region. The proposed technique was verified through experimental tests and its operational characteristics were compared with the normal operation, from the viewpoints of the total harmonic distortion (THD) and the efficiencies of the inverters and the motor. |
