TL;DR: In this article, a vector control algorithm is applied to each machine separately, total inverter phase current references are created by summation of individual machine phase current reference, and supply to the stator windings of the multi-machine set is provided from a single current controlled voltage source inverter.

TL;DR: This paper presents comprehensive analytical analysis and comparison of switching ripple characteristics of two continuous space vector PWM (SVPWM) methods for a five-phase two-level VSI.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the number of machines connectable in series depends on the properties of the phase number, and the main advantages and drawbacks of the concept are discussed and verification is provided by simulation of a nine-phase four-motor drive system.

TL;DR: The purpose of the second part of the paper is to relate flux HDFs to the current ripple and current total harmonic distortion and thus explore further switching characteristics of the two SVPWM techniques.

TL;DR: The paper develops a technique for arbitrary power sharing among three-phase winding sets of a multiphase generator and combines it with a multiple d − q approach to preserve the advantages of the vector space decomposition, while still enabling independent control over each winding set.
