Abstract :
PHEV are becoming more widespread, as they have more eco-friendly and more economical characteristics than conventional vehicles. A possible power converter is investigated to sustain the on-road operation of PHEV when one or more of the power switches is damaged. In this paper, a Scott transformer topology is presented to provide redundancy to the power switches in an Integrated Power Module (IPM). A fault-tolerant scheme is simulated to test the operation of a permanent-magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) in a PHEV.
