【 摘 要 】

In this study, a method for loss minimisation of six- and three-phase two-motor drive systems is presented. In two-motor drive systems (or multiphase multi-motor drive systems), currents of one motor pass through the other motor(s), which lead to increment of copper loss. In the proposed method for loss minimisation of six- and three-phase two-motor drive systems, extra copper loss of the six-phase motor, caused by reference currents of three-phase motor, is considered in loss-minimisation equations of three-phase motor; therefore the total controllable loss (including copper and iron losses) of whole system will be minimised in a unified form. In this paper, amount of efficiency improvement of proposed method for a system of two six- and three-phase motors in different speeds and load torques are compared with a conventional method of nominal flux. Also experimental results verify performance of the proposed method.
