Abstract

For electrified transportation (eTransportation) systems, multi-phase motors can provide higher performance and reliability than three-phase ones, but also bring more challenges in their optimal design and control. In this article, a set of high reliable electric drive system based on dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (DTP PMSM) is developed for auxiliary systems in eTransportation field. A digital collaborative develop process is proposed with the support of multiple software tools. Design, manufacture, and bench testing stages of the DTP PMSM, the two-level six-phase inverter, and the control algorithm are efficiently incorporated. A prototype of the multi-phase electric drive system is fabricated and tested. Comparison of the simulation analysis and experimental results confirms the effectiveness of the collaborative develop progress. Control algorithms based on dual d-q model and vector space decomposition model are both verified and compared via the bench test. Operation mode switching from six-phase mode to three-phase mode is also realized with the prototype system, verifying its capability in fault-tolerant and potential in efficiency optimizing.

Summary

Introduction

Transportation electrification is bringing a worldwide technical revolution during the past decades, benefitting from its environmental friendliness, high energy efficiency, and good propulsion performance [1], [2]. Electric transportation systems such as electric vehicles (EVs), more/all electric aircrafts and electric ships, are gaining more and more attentions from engineers and researchers all over the world [3]. Authors in [8] combined hybrid energy storage system with dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (DTP PMSM), achieving simplified powertrain and good performance for an EV.
