Modelling and torque control of a five-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motor using tooth-concentrated winding technology

This paper deals with the modelling and the control of a five-phase machine using a tooth-concentrated winding technology. It is shown that the control of the torque can be easily performed in a generalized dq reference frame, and that with this control the motor can still operate when the feeding of one phase is lost. This makes the motor under study and its control architecture a good candidate when a fault-tolerant drive is needed.
