Book cover Fault-Tolerant Traction Electric Drives

Abstract

The Chapter presents the Lz-transform approach application to the comparative analysis of the fault tolerance of multi-motor electrical drives with multi-phase traction motors for two various maintenance strategies. Such a topology of the traction electric drive can be used in perspective propulsion system of ships, trains and aircraft, to increase the fault tolerance of electric or hybrid-electric vehicle. As a basic variant for the study, the electric propulsion system of a cargo ship for ice navigation with a total power of 5400 kW is considered. Based on the obtained results, the decision about optimal topology and maintenance strategy of traction electric drive for an icebreaking ships has been suggested.
