D4.1. FAULT TOLERANT CONTROL OF SIC/GAN POWER CONVERTERS

This document describes fault-tolerant control strategies for the SiC/GaN power converter and the eMotor of the RHODaS IMD. It outlines control levels within the proposed IMD, details fast response strategies for critical faults managed by the power converter control and defines fault-tolerant control to be implemented by cloud/edge computing for the IMD. The document also addresses potential faults in the power converter and electric motor, discussing feasible fault detection strategies. The document examines the integrated sensors in the system clarifying their functions and the flow of information. Proposed algorithms for fault detection and localization are presented, explaining operational mechanisms and precision. Additionally, the document elaborates on two power converter fault-tolerance algorithms: a derating algorithm and an operating mode change algorithm. In summary, the document provides a comprehensive overview of fault-tolerant control in power converters and IMD, covering various aspects from fault types, sensor networks and algorithmic strategies.
