Groundbreaking analysis of a fully functional fault-tolerant machine drive

Electrical machine drives have become an increasingly important component of transportation electrification, including electric vehicles, railway and subway traction, aerospace actuation, and more. This expansion of electrical machine drives into safety-critical areas has driven an increasingly urgent demand for high reliability and strong fault tolerance. Machine drives incorporating a permanent magnet (PM)-assisted synchronous reluctance machine drive with a segregated winding have shown to exhibit notably reduced PM flux and correspondingly enhanced fault tolerance.

Multiple 3-Phase Fault Tolerant Permanent Magnet Machine Drives: Design and Control offers one of the first fully integrated accounts of a functional fault-tolerant machine drive. It proposes a segregated winding which can be incorporated into multiple machine topologies without affecting performance and brings together cutting-edge technologies to manage these crucial drives in both healthy and fault conditions. The result is a must-own for engineers and researchers alike.

Readers will also find:

• Advanced modeling techniques for different operation conditions
• Detailed discussion on topics including fault detection techniques, postfault tolerant control strategies, and many more
• An authorial team with immense experience in the study of fault-tolerant machine drives

Multiple 3-Phase Fault Tolerant Permanent Magnet Machine Drives: Design and Control is ideal for researchers and graduate students in engineering and related industries.
