In this paper, a novel and non-invasive stator inter-turn short circuit (ITSC) online detection method is presented for an induction machine (IM), driven by a two-level voltage source inverter (2L-VSI) via finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC). The main idea of the proposed method is to utilize the controller itself as an observer: under the presence of a fault, the distribution of inverter switching states significantly deviates from the original balanced case. Therefore, by inspecting the inverter switching vectors, which are the outcomes of the online optimization procedure of the FCS-MPC routine, a stator fault can be detected efficiently. It is observed that both the zero-vector allocation over the complex plane and the allocation among the active vectors are influenced by the presence of a stator short-circuit fault. The proposed fault detection strategy introduces little to no extra burden for processor and memory. Experimental results verify the proposed method and inter-turn short circuits of two and three turns are confidently detected and located for a 500 W, two-pole IM.

Model Predictive Control for a PUC5 based Dual Output Active Rectifier
Makhamreh, Hamza; Trabelsi, Mohamed; Kukrer, Osman; Abu-Rub, Haitham (2019-01-01)
In this paper, an effective finite-control-set model predictive controller (FCS-MPC) is proposed for an active dual output rectifier. The topology under study is a 5-level packed U cells (PUC5) rectifier. The optimized cost function is designed based on the capacitors' voltages and current errors. The Capacitors' reference voltages and the peak value of the reference grid current are used to normalize the errors within the cost function. The peak value of the current reference is generated by a PI controlle...
Model predictive torque control of an induction motor enhanced with an inter-turn short circuit fault detection feature

Model predictive control (MPC) is a popular research topic in modern power electronics and it has been applied to a large variety of power converters and electric drives. The reason behind this interest in MPC is the advantages that it offers: intuitive and flexible algorithm, fast dynamic response, ease of handling converter nonlinearities, and system constraints, to name a few. In this thesis, MPC is applied to the torque control of an induction motor (IM). Involving both the theoretical foundation, compu...

Titaouine, A.; Taibi, D.; Bennis, O.; Benchabane, F.; Boumaraf, R.; Yahia, K. (2011-09-10)
In this paper, a adaptive non-linear controller is presented for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) sensorless drives. The adaptive non-linear controller is designed based on an input-output feedback linearization control technique. The unscented Kalman filter is used to estimate the speed, position and load torque. The PMSM is fed by an indirect power electronics converter. This indirect converter is controlled by a sliding mode technique that enables minimization of harmonics introduced by the line...
