    Abstract: Technical solutions are described for current sensor fault mitigation for systems with permanent magnet DC drives. An example power steering system includes a brush motor, and a motor control system that generates an amount of torque using the brush motor, the amount of torque corresponding to a torque command. The motor control system includes a current sensor fault detector that detects a current sensor fault associated with a current sensor used to measure a current across the brush motor. The motor control system further includes a velocity observer that computes an estimated motor velocity in response to the current sensor fault. The motor control system further includes a feedforward controller that generates a current command for generating the amount of torque using the brush motor, the current command generated using the estimated motor velocity.

    Abstract: Technical solutions are described for a motor control system to control a permanent magnet DC (PMDC) machine. An example motor control system includes one or more sensors for measuring an output current of the PMDC machine. The motor control system further includes a current regulator that generates a voltage command corresponding to an input current command for generating an amount of torque using the PMDC machine. The current regulator includes a current command compensator that generates a first voltage command based on the input current command received by the current regulator. The current regulator further includes a feedback compensator that generates a second voltage command based on the output current measured by the one or more sensors. The current regulator also includes an adder configured that generates the voltage command by adding the first voltage command and the second voltage command.

    Abstract: Technical solutions are described for a motor control system that includes a feedforward control module to control an output torque generated by the motor. The feedforward controlling includes computing a first voltage command for the motor based on an input torque signal. Further, the feedforward controlling includes computing a second voltage command for the motor based on a brush drop voltage of the motor and a back-EMF drop voltage of the motor. Further, feedforward controlling includes computing a voltage command for the motor by summing the first voltage command and the second voltage command. Further yet, the feedforward controlling includes sending the voltage command to the motor for generating the output torque.
