Asymmetrical six-phase (A6P) induction motor-based drives can be considered as a well-established employed technology in high-power safety-critical industry sectors. Of the different control techniques proposed for multiphase machines, model predictive (MPC) has recently been favored thanks to its simplicity, rapid dynamic response, and flexibility define new objectives. One of main operating c...

This paper presents analysis and evaluation of classical direct torque control(DTC), for controlling a symmetrical six phase induction motor (SPIM) under open phasefault conditions. The machine has two three-phase windings spatially shifted by 60 electricaldegrees. The strategy of the proposed method consists of choosing the switching modesaccording to the configuration of living phases in such...

In this paper, a new six-phase pole-changing induction motor drive is proposed to extend the constant-power operating range for electric vehicle application. The double Fourier series is newly employed to analyze the spectra of the motor phase voltage and current. Consequently, the harmonic expression of the inverter dc-link current can be derived. In order to reduce the dc-link harmonics, a ne...
