Decoupled Control of a Multi-Machines System Fed by a Single Multilevel Inverter Six-Phase

Abstract

The use of multiphase motors offers an additional possibility of independent control of a set of series-connected motors that are supplied from a single inverter.This paper presents independent vector control of six-phase two-motor drive machine series-connected fed by a seven-level six-phase inverter. Via appropriate phase transposition during the series connection of the stator windings, the fully decoupled control of the two machines is possible. The control system multi-machines classic based on vector control with conventional inverters comprise various problems are related to low power quality, pressure on motor bearing, etc. However, decoupling control of a series six-phase two-motor drive machine by a seven-level six-phase inverter is developed. A simulations result clearly shows the possibility of independent vector control of the two machines, although a single seven-level six-phase inverter is used as the supply.
