3.1. Advantages of Multiphase Winding
- Increased Back-EMF: This generally results in greater power density and efficiency [80]. The primary reason for the larger back-EMF in multiphase machines is the concept of the “winding factor”. The winding factor is a measure of how effectively the winding contributes to the generation of the back-EMF in the machine. In a single-phase machine, the winding factor is limited because the winding is concentrated in one phase, resulting in less effective use of the available magnetic circuit [94]. In contrast, in a multiphase machine, the windings are distributed among multiple phases, resulting in a smaller angle between the induced voltage of each phase. The total phase back-EMF is the sum of a number of back-EMF vectors from the coils associated with a phase, hence the smaller angle results in a larger back-EMF amplitude [95,96]. As a consequence, each winding contributes more effectively to the overall generation of the magnetic field and, consequently, the back-EMF. This balanced and spatially distributed magnetic field results in a more stable and consistent back-EMF waveform, reducing harmonic content and improving the machine’s performance [97].
- Improved Fault Tolerance: Multiphase systems exhibit better fault tolerance compared to three-phase and single-phase systems due to their inherent redundancy and distributed winding configurations [98]. In some cases, when a fault occurs in one phase, it may be possible to isolate and disconnect the faulty phase while allowing the machine to continue operating with the remaining healthy phases [99]. This selective isolation helps in preventing cascading failures and protects the overall system integrity. In contrast, the three-phase machines have a smaller number of phases and losing a phase will lead to a larger portion of the power being lost and/or overloading the remaining two phases. However, in multiphase winding, as there are a greater number of phases, the overload will be lighter and there is less chance of shutting down the machine.
- Improved Power Density and Efficiency: Multiphase machines increase power density through a combination of design features and operational advantages [100]. By allowing for higher slot fill factors and reduced current ripple, multiphase configurations enable more efficient use of available space and increased current-carrying capability, translating to greater power density [101]. In addition, the multiphase winding improves the back-EMF. Therefore, for the same output power, the current will be smaller; this results in lower losses and greater power density and/or efficiency.
- Improved Reliability: Multiphase machines offer enhanced thermal management capabilities, allowing for more effective heat dissipation and temperature regulation across the machine, which in turn reduces the risk of overheating and insulation degradation [102]. Moreover, the versatility of multiphase control strategies enables fault detection and isolation algorithms to be implemented more effectively, facilitating proactive maintenance and fault mitigation strategies [103], improving reliability.
- Reduced Torque Ripple: Multiphase machines, especially those with a higher number of phases, have reduced torque ripple compared to three-phase machines [104]. This reduced torque ripple translates to smoother operation and less mechanical stress on the system, making it more resilient to faults and failures [105]. Multiphase machines utilize multiple phases with distributed windings, resulting in a smoother and more continuous rotating magnetic field [106]. The balanced distribution of winding coils around the stator helps reduce torque pulsations and harmonics, leading to a more constant torque output [104,105,106]. This smoother torque production results in improved mechanical performance and reduced mechanical stress on the machine. On the other hand, the distributed winding and increased number of phases allow for better utilization of the available magnetic materials, leading to higher torque generation without increasing the machine’s physical size significantly [107]. Another element can be the cogging torque, also known as detent torque, which is an undesirable torque variation that occurs due to the interaction between the stator and rotor teeth in electric machines. Multiphase machines with distributed windings generally exhibit reduced cogging torque [107]. The smooth and evenly distributed magnetic field helps minimize the cogging effect, leading to improved torque stability.
- Lower Harmonic Distortion: In multiphase machines, the winding coils are distributed symmetrically around the stator, resulting in a more balanced and uniform magnetic field [108]. This balanced distribution helps to minimize the generation of harmonics during the operation of the machine [109]. The use of multiple phases allows for the cancellation of some harmonics that may be present in the individual phase currents [110]. As the phases are evenly spaced in the electrical cycle, the harmonic components of each phase tend to sum up in a way that some harmonics cancel each other out, reducing the overall harmonic content in the output [109,110].
