Comprehensive implementation of magnetic nonlinearity with Fourier-based modeling poses critical challenges of convergence, rigging, and time and space complexities. The proposed model puts forward an alternate analytical method to consider the magnetic nonlinearities of all the motor segments. The formulation employed to develop the model attempts the implications of saturation and magnetic nonlinearities to incorporate them in the form of geometry modulation. The implementation does not correspond to any domain extension or magnetic vector-potential dependent term and, hence, does not endure the rank deficiency with infinitely permeable iron. The estimation accuracy of the model is demonstrated by evaluating the performance of a four-pole medium-scale laboratory prototype of a squirrel cage induction motor for a wide range of magnetic loading. Comparing the results obtained with the proposed method, finite element analysis, and measurements, it is observed that the proposed formulation enables the subdomain to achieve reasonable accuracy.

A highly cost-effective multiple-drive system is desirable in high-power applications that need multiple drives, especially in the field of ship propulsion and electric locomotives. In this article, a discontinuous pulsewidth modulation (DPWM) strategy with improved input currents for an active third-harmonic injection indirect matrix converter (3HI2MC) is presented. The proposed DPWM modulation strategy not only preserves the inherent advantages of the 3HI2MC, maintaining independent modulation and control of the rectifier and multiple inverters, but more importantly, the narrow pulsewidth problem existing in the conventional indirect matrix converter (IMC) is avoided and the input current ripple is reduced dramatically. The above features make the 3HI2MC with the proposed DPWM strategy competitive for the applications that require multiple drives and high-quality input currents. Besides, to obtain the third-harmonic injection current reference, an input current reconstruction method utilizing the output parameters of the inverters without extra current sensors is developed. After describing the topology structure, operating principles, modulation strategy, and control algorithm in details, the experimental results are presented to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed modulation strategy.

The decoupling method based on the natural or inserted artificial delays, when applied to the simulation of power electronic (PE) systems, may encounter challenges such as inadequate length of delay lines or numerical instability and precision issues due to the high-frequency voltage/current variations at interfaces. To deal with the challenge, a delay-free decoupling method is proposed in this article. The method reduces both the dimension of matrix multiplication and the number of switch state combinations without sacrificing numerical stability and compresses the calculation progress by representing the decoupled system with the discrete state-space equation. The PE system is decoupled at the series/parallel interface of submodules, treating currents as boundary variables linked to each submodule's extended port. A preliminary formula for these variables is derived by simultaneously solving nodal voltage equations and kirchhoff voltage laws (KVL) equations. Submodule solutions are compacted and parallelized based on the discrete state-space equations. These equations are then substituted back and decomposing boundary variables into independent segments, to achieve parallelization of boundary variable solutions. The proposed method is validated through real-time simulation of cascaded PE systems on an field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform with a 250 ns time step. Results show that it achieves high precision compared to nondecoupled systems in power systems computer aided design (PSCAD) across diverse transient conditions. Additionally, it boosts the simulation scale by roughly 2–7 times on the FPGA-based platform compared to nondecoupled nodal analysis.

Crosstalk poses a significant concern in power electronics converters that incorporate a phase-leg structure. The detrimental impact of crosstalk can result in device malfunction or failure. In this article, a model of the phase-leg structure emphasizing parasitic elements is introduced. Subsequently, the mathematical model of the circuit is deduced, followed by an investigation into the impact of low-side insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) gate resistance and the sensitivity of low-side switch emitter inductance. We explored in this article that in the inductive load switching a negative spike also happens in the lower device gate terminal during the crosstalk prior to the positive spike. This negative spike can be harmful for the gate oxide insulator of the device. For optimal outcomes, a double-pulse test is set up. This test entails the application of two closely spaced voltage pulses to a device, allowing the assessment of its switching characteristics in inductive loads. Furthermore, while examining the impact of low-side device gate resistance on crosstalk, the influence of low-side switch parasitic emitter inductance becomes evident, and the optimal values for these parameters are determined. The model is generic and applicable to any IGBT or power mosfet
