Modeling and Vector Control of two five-phase induction Machines Connected in Series powered by Matrix Converter

Abstract

Drive system of two five-phase motor serial connected is available in the literature. The power supply of such system is considered as matrix converter (direct AC-AC converter) with three-phase input and five-phase output. The main advantages of such drive topology are the sinusoidal source side current with a controllable input side power factor. The decoupled control is achieved similar to the inverter based drive system. In this paper; we presented the decoupled control of two five-phase Induction Machine (IM) connected in series and powered by five-phase matrix converter. Analytical and simulation results are presented.
