description

Industrial systems able to release trusted services is an integrated concept that resumes the attributes of availability, reliability, safety, integrity, and maintainability. In power electronics this can be aimed via the introduction of fault tolerant architectures. While In the past technical literature the mathematical modeling problem for non-redundant converters was fronted studying separately the cases of fault leg by leg, in this paper a general model able to include the three possible cases of leg faults with a unique set of equation is introduced and discussed. The same model allows to evaluate the DC Link transient and steady state evolution and also allows to develop with much ease an all at once control strategy for the three fault cases.
