Feasibility Analysis of Multiphase Drives for High Power Applications
Multiphase Induction Machine, High Power, Feasibility.
The multiphase induction machine offers several advantages over traditional three-phase motors, making it an attractive choice for industrial applications. These advantages include enhanced fault tolerance, the potential for torque improvement through harmonic current injection, and suitability for high-power drives. This project aims to assess the practicality of multiphase machines by conducting a comparative analysis between a nine-phase machine and a three-phase machine. It will encompass an examination of the sizing and selection of ferromagnetic and conductive materials used in the design of each machine. In addition, a comprehensive assessment will be conducted on the power supply circuits and semiconductor components utilized for driving these machines. Moreover, this project aims to deliver a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the multiphase drive, comparing it to the conventional solutions typically utilized in high-power industrial applications.
