“…The latter case allows a two-wire connection between machine and grid sides, which can be advantageous in the case of off-shore wind farms [4], but requires an additional controller of the x-y currents to regulate the midpoint voltage [9]. If the dc-link midpoint is not isolated, the voltage balancing task can be performed from the grid-side, although the x-y controller in the machine side is still desirable to improve the system dynamics [32].…”

Abstract The fault tolerance provided by multiphase machines is one of the most attractive features for industry applications where a high degree of reliability is required. Aiming to take advantage of such post-fault operating capability, some newly designed full-power energy conversion systems are selecting machines with more than three phases. Although the use of parallel converters is usual in high-power three-phase electrical drives, the fault tolerance of multiphase machines has been mainly considered with single supply from a multiphase converter. This work addresses the faulttolerant capability of six-phase energy conversion systems supplied with parallel converters, deriving the current references and control strategy that need to be utilized to maximize torque/power production. Experimental results show that it is possible to increase the post-fault rating of the system if some degree of imbalance in the current sharing between the two sets of three-phase windings is permitted.Index Terms Multiphase energy conversion systems, fault tolerance, parallel converters, field oriented control.

Abstract This paper discusses the operation of a multiphase system, aimed at both variable-speed drive and generating (e.g. wind energy) applications, using back-to-back converter structure with dual three-phase machine-side converters. In the studied topology, an asymmetrical six-phase induction machine is controlled using two three-phase two-level voltage source converters (VSCs) connected in series to form a cascaded dclink. The suggested configuration is analysed and a method for dc-link midpoint voltage balancing is developed. Voltage balancing is based on the use of additional degrees of freedom that exist in multiphase machines and represents an entirely new utilisation of these degrees. Validity of the topology and its control is verified by simulation and experimental results on a laboratory-scale prototype, thus proving that it is possible to achieve satisfactory dc-link voltage control under various operating scenarios.
