High-Order Sliding Mode Magnetometer for Excitation Fault Detection of Elevator Traction Synchronous Motor under the Background of Industrial Engineering

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In the manuscript entitled “High-order sliding mode magnetometer for excitation fault detection of elevator traction synchronous motor under the background of industrial engineering” by Shao et al., authors have proposed a new high order sliding mode flux observer based on hybrid reaching rate, under the background of industrial engineering to detect the loss of excitation fault in real time by aiming at the loss of excitation problem of elevator traction permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The topic is of good importance, however, there are few concerns which should be addressed.

1.     The language of the article needs minor revision and improvement.

2.     The abstract is not well organized. Authors must add the background of the problem, objectives, method, results and concluding remarks.  

3.     The introduction has no explanation of the problem. No proper problem statement is formulated.  

4.     Methods lack explanation. No parameter-level details are provided. Authors have provided a closed-form mathematical solution; however, authors should mention that how the parameters were tuned, and what were the optimal values.

5.     Conclusion is consistent with results, but overall, there is a lack of discussion in results. Authors should add a quantitative comparative analysis with existing methods and must update the literature review.

In its current, the manuscript cannot be accepted for publication.

Reviewer 2 Report

This paper proposed a technology to real-time monitoring of the loss of excitation problem of elevator traction permanent magnet synchronous motor. The research work is meaningful and the structure of the manuscript is complete. The ability of the proposed method is well demonstrated by multiple numerical simulations and experimental validations. Some suggestions to the authors are given as follows:

1) The authors are suggested to check the grammar and further polish the language in the manuscript.

2) The introduction is not well organized with some inaccurate descriptions and some latest references are not well included, the authors are suggested to improve Introduction part. 10.1177/14759217221088492,    10.1109/TIM.2022.3214623

3) There are many writing typos in the manuscript, for example: line 261 “model of p PMSM”. The authors are suggested to check the writing typos of the whole manuscript carefully to avoid the same errors.

4) The authors didn’t provide a detailed introduction to the experiments in the manuscript. Please add the related content.

Reviewer 3 Report

1.     Before the research object, this article should increase the research motivation otherwise, it suddenly showed the research object. The readers may feel so strange.

2.     The design process may be mentioned. Hence, the reviewer suggests between line 85 and line 86, the authors can write some sentences to express design process.

3.     In the conclusion section, the sensitivity analysis for the working condition parameters may discussed.
