Operation Method for AC Grid powered PMSM with Open-End Winding in Dual-Inverter Topology for Power Factor Maximization

As the prototype testing showed. the proposed operation method of the PMSM in dual-inverter topology at a single phase AC grid achieved performances. which are comparable to drive system solutions with an active PFC stage. The benefit of this solution is the displacement of additional PFC inductors. These inductors are …
