This study proposes a smart fault-tolerant control system based on the theory of Lorenz chaotic system and extension theory for locating faults and executing tolerant control in a three-level T-type inverter. First, the system constantly monitors the fault states of the 12 power transistor switches of the three-level T-type inverter; if a power transistor fails, the corresponding output phase voltage waveform is converted by a Lorenz chaotic system. Chaos eye coordinates are then extracted from a scatter diagram of chaotic dynamic states and considered as fault characteristics. The system then executes fault diagnosis based on extension theory. The fault characteristic value is used as the input signal for correlation analysis; thus, the faulty power transistor can be located and the fault diagnosis can be achieved for the inverter. The fault-tolerant control system can maintain the three-phase balanced output of the three-level T-type inverter, thereby improving the reliability of the motor drive system. The feasibility of the proposed smart fault-tolerant control system was assessed by conducting simulations in this study, and the results verified its feasibility. Accordingly, after the occurrence of the fault in power switches, the balanced three-phase output line voltage remained unchanged, and the quality of the output voltage was not reduced by using the integration of the proposed fault diagnosis system and fault-tolerant control system for a three-level T-type Inverter.
