Synchronous permanent magnet (PM) machines have been gaining a lot of interest over the years. This is due to their several advantages including high power density, high efficiency and high reliability. One of the key concerns about PM machines especially in safety-critical applications (such as the more-electric aircraft) has been the issue of fault-tolerance since the machine cannot be de-excited. A lot of work has been done both on the machine side as well as the power converter side (including power converter configuration and remedial control strategies). This study will provide a thorough review and summary of what has been covered in literature up-to-date. The study will highlight the tradeoffs (including weight, cost and reliability) involved in the various proposed methods and strategies with more emphasis on the machine side. The methods discussed in this study include active control methods form converter side, memory motors, doubly-salient and flux-switching machines, use of auxiliary windings, mechanical flux-weakening methods, use of shunts and shields, thermal protection and transverse flux machines. The study will also include some comments about where the research in this area is heading in the future.
