| Abstract |
This paper aims to present an optimized inverter topology, based on the dual two-level inverter, for feeding an open-end winding electrical machine with superconductive stator windings and a superconductive rotor. In order to achieve a high torque density, the stator windings are built of several superconducting tapes being in parallel. One inverter of the dual two-level inverter is equipped with powerful IGBT semiconductors and supplies the machine with energy. The second inverter is a low voltage MOSFET inverter that monitors the superconductor resistance (quench detection) and balances the current on the parallel superconductive tapes for guaranteeing an optimum operation with respect to the superconductive losses. |
