Rotor position is essentially required for vector control of permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG) and position sensor such as encoder are generally used for the purpose of position sensing. However, the use of position sensor degrades reliability of PMSG control system. This paper presents position sensor fault tolerant control method for PMSG control system. Sensorless position estimator based on extended electromotive force(EMF) is operated in parallel with sensored vector control to provide rapid reconfiguration capability to sensorless vector control at the moment of position sensor fault detection. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
