Sensor Fault Detection and Isolation Based on Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic Applicated on Induction Motor for Electrical Vehicle

Abstract

Recently, research has picked up a fervent pace in the area of fault diagnosis of electrical vehicle. Like failures of a position sensor, a voltage sensor, and current sensors. Three-phase induction motors are the “workhorses” of industry and are the most widely used electrical machines. This paper presents a scheme for Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI). The proposed approach is a sensor-based technique using the mains current measurement. Current sensors are widespread in power converters control and in electrical drives. Thus, to ensure continuous operation with reconfiguration control, a fast sensor fault detection and isolation is required. In this paper, a new and fast faulty current sensor detection and isolation is presented. It is derived from intelligent techniques. The main interest of field programmable gate array is the extremely fast computation capabilities. That allows a fast residual generation when a sensor fault occurs. Using of Xilinx System Generator in Matlab / Simulink allows the real-time simulation and implemented on a field programmable gate array chip without any VHSIC Hardware Description Language coding. The sensor fault detection and isolation algorithm was implemented targeting a Virtex5. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the efficiency of this FDI approach.
