Fault tolerant electric drives - solutions and current research activities, part II

Due to the steadily increasing computational power found in mechatronic components, more and more attractive functions besides integrated control can be realized. One of the most interesting supplementary functions is an integrated fault management, which allows the mechatronic component to detect and react to faults autonomously, subsuming under the term “fault-management”. Fault-tolerant control describes one such reaction, where the controller is e.g. reparameterized in the case of a fault to accommodate the fault induced changes of the system parameters.
