Advanced open-winding motor drive topologies for next-generation power electronics

Power Electronics Converters for Open-Winding Motor Drives provides coverage of modelling, control, and converter design for increasingly critical drive configurations, detailing open-winding drive modelling and control for reluctance motor, induction motors and PMSM. This book introduces the original work of Series-end Winding Motor Drive (SWMD) as the core part and covers active magnetic bearing drives including fault-tolerant AMB topologies and device-sharing optimization, plus multi-functional drives for integrated battery chargers, motor emulators, and battery impedance identification.

Readers will find:

• General modelling and control frameworks for open-winding motor drives applied to both induction motors and permanent magnet synchronous machines
• An analysis of series-end winding motor drives with practical mitigation solutions for drive system designers
• Re-configurable open-winding multiphase drive topologies offering flexible architecture for varied application requirements
• Multi-axis active magnetic bearing topologies that reduce power losses through device-sharing principles
• Zero-sequence current control methods enabling multi-functional motor drives for integrated battery charging and impedance identification

Designed for engineers, scientists, and researchers working in power electronics and motor drives, this book delivers the analytical depth required to advance open-winding drive design for electric vehicles and high-speed machinery applications. Graduate students in power engineering will find it a valuable reference.
