Voltage behind reactance modelling of multiphase electronically commutated DC machines

This paper focuses on the modelling of a new multi-phase electrical machine and power electronic converter topology where the machine and power electronics are integrated into a single unit. This machine topology will be referred to as Active Stator Machine. A generic Voltage Behind Reactance model formulation suitable for multiphase machines is presented. Simulation results of the implemented multi-phase machine model are given and compared with test results from a prototype machine.
