This article proposes a modular approachto the power sharing control of permanent magnet
synchronous bearingless machine. The selected machine topology features a winding
layout with phases distributed into nonoverlapping three phase groups, a solution whose
twofold aim is to increase the fault tolerance and to allow for the radial force generation. The
three phase subwindings are supplied by standard three-phase inverter, leading to a
modular system architecture. A throughout explanation of the methodology used to develop …
