| Summary: | To address the issue of control inaccuracy caused by the zero-offset fault in current sensors within the multiphase brushless DC motor (BLDCM) drive system, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control method based on current signals. Different from traditional solutions that rely on hardware redundancy or precise modeling, this method constructs a dual-channel fault diagnosis framework by integrating the steady-state amplitude offset of the phase current after the fault and the abnormal characteristics of dynamic sector switching. Firstly, sliding time window monitoring is used to identify steady-state amplitude anomalies and locate faulty sectors. Subsequently, an algorithm for detecting the difference in current changes during sector switching is designed, and a logic interlocking verification mechanism is combined to eliminate false triggering and accurately locate single or multiple fault phases. Furthermore, based on the diagnostic information, a repeated iterative online correction method is adopted to restore the accuracy of the current measurement. This method only relies on phase current signals and rotor position information, does not require additional hardware support or accurate system models, and is not affected by the nonlinear characteristics of the motor. Finally, the experimental verification was carried out on a nine-phase BLDCM drive system. Experimental results indicate that the torque fluctuation of the system can be controlled within 5% through the fault-tolerant control strategy. |
