A novel quad-inverter configuration for multiphase multi-level ac motor drives is analyzed in this paper. The proposed scheme is based on four conventional 2-level three-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs) supplying the open-end windings of a dual three-phase motor (asymmetric six-phase machine), quadrupling the power capability of a single VSI with given voltage and current ratings. The proposed control algorithm is able to generate multi-level voltage waveforms, equivalent to the ones of a 3-level inverter, and to share the total motor power among the four dc sources within each switching period. The whole ac motor drive has been numerically implemented and a complete set of simulation results is given.

Abstract
A novel quad-inverter configuration for multiphase multi-level ac motor drives is analyzed in this paper. The proposed scheme is based on four conventional 2-level three-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs) supplying the open-end windings of a dual three-phase motor (asymmetric six-phase machine), quadrupling the power capability of a single VSI with given voltage and current ratings. The proposed control algorithm is able to generate multi-level voltage waveforms, equivalent to the ones of a 3-level inverter, and to share the total motor power among the four dc sources within each switching period. The whole ac motor drive has been numerically implemented and a complete set of simulation results is given.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
