TL;DR: An open-end winding machine configuration and a suitable control strategy for medium-voltage ac motor drives applications are proposed in this paper in order to reduce the distortion of phase voltages in multilevel inverters (MLIs).

TL;DR: An optimal current control strategy for asymmetrical hybrid multilevel inverters (MLIs) is proposed in this paper enabling their use on motor drives, static synchronous compensators, and photovoltaic and wind generators, where a fast and precise current regulation is required.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of dead time in common mode voltage generation is considered, thus modifying the switching patterns according to the sign of the load currents is proposed to make a tradeoff between the DC bus voltage exploitation and CMCs reduction and make MSVMs appealing to most electrical drives on the market.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sensorless field oriented control based on a quite common back-EMF technique to estimate the rotor angular position and an original approach to correct estimation errors is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, a multi-level open-end winding converter topology for multiple-motor drives is presented, where the main inverter operates at the fundamental frequency in order to achieve low switching power losses, while the active filter is Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) operated to suitably shape the motor currents.
