Decoupled Speed and Flux Control of a Three-Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor under an Open-Circuit Fault Using a PR Current Controller

Abstract

Presented in this article is a method for decoupling the speed and flux control of a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) during an open-circuit fault (OCF) using a current controller based on proportional resonant (PR) control techniques. The suggested control approach is relatively simple to implement and maintains good motor operation during the open circuit. PMSM performance under pre-fault, OCF, and post-fault conditions were investigated using Matlab/Simulink and an experimental setup based on a dSPACE DS1104. The conducted investigations provide strong evidence supporting the efficacy and resilience of the suggested control approach during OCF conditions.
