Rectifier Fault Diagnosis and Fault Tolerance of a Doubly Fed Brushless Starter Generator

الملخص EN

This paper presents a rectifier fault diagnosis method with wavelet packet analysis to improve the fault tolerant four-phase doubly fed brushless starter generator (DFBLSG) system reliability.

The system components and fault tolerant principle of the high reliable DFBLSG are given.

And the common fault of the rectifier is analyzed.

The process of wavelet packet transforms fault detection/identification algorithm is introduced in detail.

The fault tolerant performance and output voltage experiments were done to gather the energy characteristics with a voltage sensor.

The signal is analyzed with 5-layer wavelet packets, and the energy eigenvalue of each frequency band is obtained.

Meanwhile, the energy-eigenvalue tolerance was introduced to improve the diagnostic accuracy.

With the wavelet packet fault diagnosis, the fault tolerant four-phase DFBLSG can detect the usual open-circuit fault and operate in the fault tolerant mode if there is a fault.

The results indicate that the fault analysis techniques in this paper are accurate and effective.
