An analysis of N Schwarz inverters driving a common AC bus

It is noted that electric power systems for future spacecraft may need distribution networks with multiple inputs and outputs. It is suggested that one way of achieving such a system is to connect Schwartz inverters in parallel to drive a common AC bus. A steady-state model is derived to calculate certain variables of interest and to predict how these inverters will share the load. Experimental results verify the feasibility of this approach and indicate reasonable agreement with the calculations
