Detection of turn short circuit fault in PMSM variable speed based on adaptive fuzzy logic and sliding-mode control

In this paper, a fault diagnosis method is presented in order to detection the inter-turn short circuit fault in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on the comparative analysis of two types of controllers. This study consists in the sliding mode control (SMC) of the (PMSM) and the two controllers (fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and Adaptive fuzzy logic controller (AFLC) by taking account of the presence of inter-turn short circuit fault. This study aims to select the most robust controller against the stator faults, load torque variation and reversing rotation speed. Tests regarding these two controllers associated with the sliding mode control were carried on a PMSM 5KW under to different loads, speed and severity degrees of failures for a functioning in healthy and degraded state. The obtained simulation results confirm the superiority and robustness of AFLC-SMC (insensitive to the load torque and the rotation direction, faster response time, decrease the oscillations, and minimization of THD) compared to FLC-SMC.
