Abstract

Predictive Current Control (PCC) has been widely applied in several applications. However, the literature has not discussed its use as a fault tolerance control algorithm in induction drive systems. In this way, this paper discusses the PCC method in two faulttolerant squirrel-cage induction machine drive systems operating under single-phase open-circuit faults. PCC’s postfault performance is compared to Field Oriented Control (FOC) for different steady- and transient-state scenarios, analyzing harmonic distortion, torque ripple, and the transition from healthy to postfault operation. Also, experiments tested the robustness of postfault PCC to low-speed operation, parametric variation, and a step change in reference rotor speed, showing that PCC also presents fault-tolerant operation under these conditions.
