Fault Injection Model of Induction Motor for Stator Interturn Fault Diagnosis Research Based on HILS

Abstract

Recently, in order to ensure the reliability and safety of trains, online condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of traction induction motors have become active issues in the area of rail transportation. The fault diagnosis algorithm can be developed and debugged in a real-time environment based on hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS). However, the dynamic space model of induction motors with stator interturn short-circuit faults faces the problem that the faulty state and the healthy state are not compatible, which is inconvenient for the HILS. In this paper, a fault injection model is proposed for the first time, which can realize the online switching between the healthy state and the faulty state of the motor. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model are verified by simulation experiments the based on MATLAB/Simulink and dSPACE HILS platforms.
