In this paper, various inverter topologies are compared for integrated modular motor drive (IMMD) applications. Two-level voltage source inverter (2L-VSI), three level voltage source inverter (3L-VSI) and series/parallel combinations of these topologies with system level modularity are compared in terms of voltage and current harmonic spectrum, passive component sizes and motor drive efficiency. New generation wide band-gap GaN power semiconductor devices are utilized in modular topologies and they are compared with a conventional IGBT motor drive. The effect of phase-shifting between the PWM carrier signals of parallel connected modules and its contribution to size reduction is investigated. IMMD structure has proven to have a superior efficiency compared to conventional motor drives, thanks to the utilization of GaNs. It has been shown that over 98% motor drive efficiency can be achieved for 8kW IMMD by using a newly proposed topology where 2L-VSI converters are connected both in series and parallel on the DC link.

Design of a GaN Based Integrated Modular Motor Drive Uğur, Mesut; Keysan, Ozan (2018-10-25) In this study, design procedure of an Integrated Modular Motor Drive (IMMD) is presented focusing on high power density. The design is based on a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) and GaN FETs. Fractional slot concentrated windings are used on the stator. Slot/pole combination and winding configuration is selected based on having low cogging torque and high winding factor. An extended motor drive inverter topology is proposed where 2-level voltage source inverters are connected both in series and pa...

Fault Tolerance Capabilities of Three, Four and Six-Phase Configurations of a 24 Slot Modular PMSM Bayazıt, Göksenin Hande; Keysan, Ozan (2019-07-01) In this study, fault tolerance and redundancy capabilities of different phase and winding configurations of an Integrated Modular Motor Drive (IMMD) system are investigated. This is made possible by manipulating gate drive signals of the inverter and phase connections. Three and four phase connections as well as symmetric and asymmetric six-phase topologies are described. Control strategies and redundancy possibilities of these different topologies under an open circuit fault condition are examined in MATLA...
