Multiphase variable-speed drives, supplied from two level voltage-source inverters (VSIs), are currently considered for a number of industrial applications. Although various multiphase pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) schemes had been recently developed, very li ...
This paper is focused on the design, modulation and control of a re-generative non-symmetrical multi-level converter for high-power applications such as oil and gas or mining. The converter is based on standard IGBT modules and the DC-link voltages are cho ...
Since control of a three-phase machine requires only two currents, it is possible to independently control a number of three-phase machines using reduced-switch-count voltage source inverter (VSI) topologies. One such configuration consists of n three-phas ...
A number of PWM techniques have been developed in recent times for five-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs), which enable sinusoidal output voltage generation. Relatively little attention has been however paid to the current ripple caused by these PWM me ...
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to develop a contactless torque measurement methods. The need for low-weight, high-efficiency and high-power density motors has led to an increased research and development activity in the field of very high speed (VH ...
This paper presents a very-high-speed (VHS) slotless permanent-magnet motor design procedure using an analytical model. The model is used to design the optimal prototype (target: 200 kr/min, 2 kW). The multiphysics analytical model allows a quick optimizat ...
Multiphase series-connected motor drives can be supplied from a two-level voltage source inverter (VSI), which has either a prime or a composite number of legs (phases). It has been shown recently that, in the case of a prime number of inverter/machine pha ...
The paper presents an optimization design of an in-wheel BLDC motor for a kick scooter. The optimization is performed using a genetic optimization tool combined with a FEM commercial software. The new contributions of the paper are: (i) introduction of thr ...
Some applications require an energy transfer without contacts and wires. The mutual inductive effects between two coils allow to transfer energy to an electronic consumer through an air gap. This paper presents an analytical model of a coreless transformer ...
Multiphase variable-speed drives are typically supplied from a two-level voltage source inverter (VSI). The number of phases of the machine and hence the legs of the inverter can be either a prime or a composite number. Limits of the dc bus utilisation in ...
