Original scientific paperThis paper proposes an improved sensorless fault-tolerant control (FTC) for high-performance induction motor drives (IMD) that propels an electric-vehicle (EV). The design strategy is based on the Backstepping control (BC). However an appropriate combination of the BC and extended kalman filter (EKF) is done, this later is designed in order to detect and reconstruct the faults and also to give a sensorless control. Then, additional control laws, based on the estimates of the faults, are designed in order to compensate the faults. The results show the superiority EKF in nonlinear system as it provides better estimates for faults detection. A classical EV traction system is studied, using an IMD. Indeed, the IMD based powertrain is coupled to DC machine-based load torque emulator taking into account the EV mechanics and aerodynamics. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy for detection of faults, and FTC of the IMD is illustrated through simulation studies.

U ovome radu predložena je unaprije ena bez-senzorska upravljačka strategija otporna na kvarna stanja (FTC) za indukcijski motor visokih performansi koji pokreće električno vozilo (EV). Strategija je temeljena na rekurzivnom upravljanju (BC). Nadalje, izvedena je odgovarajuća kombinacija BC-a i proširenog Kalmanovog filtra (EKF), pričemu je potonji izveden u svrhu uočavanja i rekonstrukcije kvarova te kako bi omogućio bez-senzorsko upravljanje. Kako bi se kompenzirala kvarna stanja, dizajnirani su dodatni upravljački zakoni zasnovani na estimaciji kvarova. Rezultati prikazuju poboljšanje korištenjem EKF-a za nelinearne sustave budući da on omogućava kvalitetnije uočavanje kvarova. Razmatran je klasični pogon EV-a korištenjem IMD-a. Tako er, pogonski sklop zasnovan na IMD-u je povezan s emulatorom momenta zasnovanom na DC motoru, uzimajući u obzir mehaničke i aerodinamičke karakteristike EV-a. Na posljetku je simulacijama ilustrirana efikasnost predložene strategije za uočavanje kvarnih stanja i FTC-a IMD-a.Ključne riječi: Rekurzivno upravljanje (BC), upravljanje otporno na kvarna stanja (FTC), indukcijski motor (IMD), prošireni kalmanov filtar (EKF), električno vozilo (EV).
INTRODUCTIONA motor control system with high robustness is an important issue in research. Induction motor drives (IMD) are making significant inroads, because of robustness and rugged structure. They are widely used in industrial applications such as, electric vehicles (EVs), traction locomotives etc. In the last decade, fault tolerance becomes an interesting topic in their controls. The objective is to give solutions that provide fault accommodation to the most frequent faults and thereby reduce the costs of handling the faults. Backstepping control (BC) is a robust...
