@inproceedings { , title = {A novel multilevel quad-inverter configuration for quasi six-phase open-winding converter}, abstract = {This paper developed a novel quad-inverter configuration for multilevel six-phase asymmetrical open-winding AC converter. Proposal found to be suited for (low-voltage/high-current) applications such as AC tractions and ‘More-Electric Aircraft’ propulsion systems. Modular power circuit comprises of standard four three-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) and each connected to the open-end windings. Each VSIs are incorporated with one bi-directional switching device (MOSFET/IGBT) per phase and two capacitors with neutral point connected. Further, an original modified single carrier five-level modulation (MSCFM) algorithm is developed in this work and easy for implementing in real digital processors. The proposed modulation algorithm is capable of generating, 5-level voltages at each output of four VSI as one equivalent to multilevel inverter. The total power is among the four DC sources and quadruples the capabilities of VSIs. A set of observed results is presented with numerical software analysis (Matlab/PLECS) in balanced working conditions. Always the results shown good agreement in the developed theoretical background.}, conference = {2016 10th International Conference on Compatibility, Power Electronics and Power Engineering (CPE-POWERENG)}, note = {doi:10.1109/CPE.2016.7544208 OL 23.08.2017}, organization = {Bydgoszcz, Poland}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://nottingham-repository.worktribe.com/output/793487}, keyword = {Dual three-phase inverter, quad-inverter, six-phase inverter, multilevel inverters, multiphase drives, asymmetrical inverters, multiple space vectors, pulse-width modulation}, year = {2016}, author = {Padmanaban, Sanjeevikumar and Blaabjerg, Frede and Wheeler, Patrick William and Siano, Pierluigi and Martirano, Luigi and Szcze?niak, Pawel} }
