Abstract: A method of controlling an electric motor assembly includes detecting a backspin event of an electric motor, and managing a response to the detected backspin event of the electric motor. The backspin event of the electric motor is detected based at least in part on feedback from a sensor configured to measure a current or a voltage on a cable coupled to the electric motor. The response includes communicating an alert to personnel, controlling the voltage on the cable to be less than a voltage threshold, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: A method includes controlling a first power output to an electric machine during a transient event. Controlling the first power output includes measuring values of the first power output provided to the electric machine during the transient event, receiving an estimated speed input of the electric machine, determining adjustment commands to compensate the first power output for the transient event of the electric machine, generating switch commands for gate drives of a variable frequency drive (VFD) based at least in part on the adjustment commands, and modifying the first power output during the transient event based on the switch commands.

Abstract: An AC electrical system for a vehicle and methods of operating the same are provided. In one aspect, an AC electrical system includes a first electric machine mechanically coupled with a first spool of a gas turbine engine and a second electric machine mechanically coupled with a second spool of the gas turbine engine. The system also includes a first AC bus and a second AC bus. A first electrical channel electrically couples the first electric machine to the first AC bus and a second electrical channel electrically couples the second electric machine to the second AC bus. The system also includes one or more connection links and one or more power converters for selectively electrically coupling the first and second electrical channels so that electrical power generated by one electric machine can be converted and shared with the other electric machine and electrical loads of the other channel.

Abstract: A power converter is provided. In one aspect, the power converter has a first inverter and a second inverter electrically coupled with one another and with a power bus. First switches of the first inverter are arranged symmetrically with second switches of the second inverter so that, when switched in a pulse width modulated switching scheme, the first switches generate a first common mode signal and the second switches generate a second common mode signal that is one hundred eighty degrees out of phase with the first common mode signal. In another aspect, the power converter includes a buck stage having one or more pairs of symmetrically arranged buck switches that can be controlled to reduce or eliminate common mode electromagnetic interference in the buck stage. The power converter can also include one or more pairs of symmetrically arranged inductors.
