Fault-tolerant Power Electronic Converters: Reliability Analysis of Active Power Filter

The aim of fault tolerant control (FTC) is to preserve the ability of the system to reach performances as close as possible to those which were initially assigned to it. The main goal of this paper is to develop a FTC system, based on reliability analysis dedicated to an active power filter. Once a fault has been detected and isolated, all possible structures of the system that preserve pre-specified performance are analyzed and the highest reliability indicate the optimal structure.
