Machine considerations
Fractional-slot concentrated-winding (FSCW)
- Short end-turns
- Low cogging torque
- High slot filling factor (segmented stator)
Challenges
- Suitable slot/pole combinations to obtain:
- High fundamental winding factor
- Low rotor losses
- Ease of integration (identical converter sub modules)
- Fault tolerance to handle a converter sub module fault

Control considerations
Converter sub module
- Current control
- Field weakening
Master control
- DC-link voltage control and communication (ongoing work)
- Fault handling (ongoing work)

Technical summary
• New method of machine and converter integration
• New converter topology (SPB converter)
• Low voltage Si MOSFETs provide very high efficiencies and allows
reasonably high junction temperatures
• Future GaN may enable even lower losses
• Low voltage, high switch frequency → very small, nonelectrolytic capacitors
• Potential fault tolerance (limp home) is “in built”
