Funded Activity Summary

Advanced fault tolerant drives for safety critical applications. The key aim of this project is to develop an electrical drive system with enhanced tolerance to system faults. The research is significant as it aims to satisfy the demands of emerging high-reliability applications for electric drive systems utilising a patented concentrated-wound permanent magnet machine. Applications for the research include the automotive, aerospace and resource sectors which are global growth sectors. A new high-quality model of the machine is expected to be realised. This new model is proposed to then inform the development of suitable control techniques for the machine driven by fault-tolerant inverter topologies. The research is then planned to be demonstrated on prototype research machines and the system performance compared with existing state-of-the-art technology.
