“…In this first part (Part I) are presented: the radial force (Section II); the model for a triple three-phase machine, taking into account both the even and odd harmonic fields in the air-gap (Section III); the relation between the radial force and the current space vectors (Section IV); the FE simulations, used to verify the control technique (Section V). In the second part (Part II [10]) a fault tolerant control in case of one threephase sector open winding fault is analysed.…”

The machine has a nine-phase winding arranged in three sectors and supplied by three different Voltage Source Inverters (VSI). A machine model is developed, based on the multi space vector approach. The multi space vector current control technique is exploited to control the torque and the radial force. The radial force control can be useful to compensate for a bearing fault or for a rotor eccentricity. Finite element simulations are used to validate the model and the control technique. Finally, criticalities of the control and modelling aspects are discussed.Index Terms-Analytical models, brushless machines, fault tolerance, fault tolerant systems, force, force control, machine vector control, permanent magnet machines. I. INTRODUCTIONULTIPHASE machines have a series of benefits, when compared to conventional three-phase ones, in terms of performance and fault tolerant behaviour. Owing to the higher number of phases, the degrees of freedom increase allows controlling more harmonics of the air-gap field. The multiphase current control can be exploited to reduce the torque ripple related to the higher harmonic fields, to levitate the rotor in a bearingless configuration, to define a sensorless machine control, to detect machine faults and implement fault tolerant controls, and for other purposes related to the various machine topologies [1]- [3].The radial force can be controlled with two motor topologies according to their winding configuration: dual set and single set winding. While in the first category the radial force is produced by the design of a specific winding with a different pole pair number, in the latter one it is generated by the multiphase machine control. Indeed, in multiphase machines it is possible to inject current sequences in order to control both even and odd field harmonics, and so both the radial force and the torque [4].In critical systems or when high reliability is required, a...
