The parallel three-phase voltage source inverters have been widely used to raise system power rating. However, the zero-sequence circulating current can be generated according to switching method in the direct connection scheme. Zero-sequence circulating current not only distorts current but also reduces system reliability and efficiency. In this paper, model predictive control scheme is proposed...
This study investigates the effect of different skewing methods and angles for switched reluctance machines (SRM) having high pole count using multiphysics simulations.

Mechanical and acoustical analyses are performed to evaluate the effectiveness of different skewing...
The cost function of finite control set model predictive torque and flux control uses a weighting factor to determine the trade-off between the torque and flux magnitude tracking errors. The choice of this weighting factor strongly influences the current distortions. It will be shown that the optimal weight, which minimizes the current distortions, can be computed algebraically. Furthermore, using...
