Abstract: Direct-torque-control-driven permanent magnet synchronous machines eliminate the need for a position sensor while providing improved torque dynamics. However, the structure, regulation principle and nature of compensation of hysteresis-based controllers used in direct torque control impacts performance under faulty operating conditions. This paper analyzes the reaction of direct torque control to the presence of various faults that occur in permanent magnet synchronous machines. The analysis presented reveals that the direct torque control injects a negative sequence voltage and manipulates the torque angle to meet the control objectives when a fault occurs. The co-simulation of finite element analysis and a multi-physic circuit simulator is used to validate the response of the hysteresis-based controller to the machine health. The results indicate that the hysteresis comparators have the ability to mask the impact of the faults in the direct-torque-control-driven permanent magnet synchronous machines.
