Multiphase drives offer enhanced fault-tolerant capabilities compared with conventional
three-phase ones. Their phase redundancy makes them able to continue running in the …

Multiphase machines are very convenient for applications that require high reliability. In this
two-part survey, the state of the art about fault tolerance in multiphase drives is reviewed. In …

More electric aircraft (MEA) architectures consist of several subsystems, which must all
comply with the settled safety requirements of aerospace applications. Thus, achieving …

Although the concept of a multiphase drive system dates back to the middle of the 20th
century, the initial pace of development was rather slow, as witnessed by the first two …

The traditional generating set is usually comprised of a classical, wound-field, salient-pole,
or cylindrical rotor synchronous generator, excited by a separate smaller machine, via a …

The benefits of implementing a damper winding in salient-pole synchronous generators are
widely known and well consolidated. It is also well known that such a winding incurs extra …

Design of a multiphase hybrid permanent magnet (HPM) generator for series hybrid electric
vehicle (SHEV) application is presented in this paper. The proposed hybrid excitation …

This study provides a comprehensive literature review of techniques for harmonic related
power quality improvement of electrical generation systems. Increasing interest in these …

Transformer rectifier units (TRUs) are a reliable way for dc generation in several electric
applications. These units are formed by multiple three-phase uncontrolled bridge rectifiers …

This book presents the design and operation of DC wind systems and their integration into
power grids. The chapters give an in-depth discussion on turbine conversion systems that …
