    Abstract: A system for providing power to one or more loads. The system includes: a central controller configured to output a speed demand for one or more loads; and a plurality of power converters arranged in a parallel configuration with each other and configured to provide power to the one or more loads. Each power converter includes a speed control loop configured to calculate a local current demand based at least in part on an output speed error between the speed demand of the one or more loads and a measured speed of the one or more loads; a torque/current control loop configured to calculate an output voltage demand based at least in part on the local current demand of its respective speed control loop; and a module configured to modulate the output voltage of an inverter based on the output voltage demand from the torque/current control loop.

    Abstract: A motor drive comprises a rectifier circuit portion arranged to receive an externally supplied AC voltage and to generate a DC bus voltage. An inverter circuit portion is arranged to receive the DC bus voltage (VDC_Bus) and to generate an AC output voltage (Vout) for supply to an external load. A DC bus portion is connected between the rectifier and the inverter. An inductor (L1) is connected in series along a bus conductor between the rectifier and inverter, and a DC link capacitor (C1) is connected in parallel between the bus conductors. A voltage across the DC link capacitor (C1) is input to a tuneable notch filter arranged to supply a filtered signal. A controller varies the resonant frequency of the notch filter to a plurality of values across an operational range and modulates a supply current provided by the inverter with a probe current signal at the resonant frequency.

    Abstract: A power converter for providing power to one or more loads. The power converter is configured to be arranged in a parallel configuration with one or more additional power converters. The converter includes: a load balancing controller configured to receive an input voltage demand and output a compensated output voltage demand; an inverter for receiving an input voltage and converting this to an output voltage having an associated output current, the inverter comprising at least two DC-link capacitors; and a module configured to modulate the output voltage using a modulation scheme based on the compensated output voltage demand. The load balancing controller comprises a first feedback circuit configured to generate a first signal, wherein the first signal is generated based on a first measurement/calculation of the output current of the inverter scaled by a first gain.
