Medium-Voltage Current-Source Converter Drives for Marine Propulsion System Using a Dual-Winding Synchronous Machine
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Medium-voltage (MV) drives are increasingly used in high-power marine applications for running thrusters and main propulsion motors. In this paper, an MV drive solution employing active front-end current-source converters is proposed for a synchronous-motor-based propulsion system. The proposed solution includes two independent drives, each to control one of the two sets of three-phase windings of the synchronous motor. A dedicated communication link between the drives allows continuous load sharing and robust system operation in a master-follower drive configuration. Field-oriented control with the use of an absolute encoder is implemented for providing high starting torque and smooth speed control over a wide speed range including a 30% overspeed region. The major advantages of the proposed solution include simple structure, increased system power rating, redundant operation, low-harmonic input/output waveforms, improved reliability, elimination of a bulky input isolation transformer, and parallel drive control without the need of a complex coordinated inverter gating system. In addition, the system offers input power factor compensation and dynamic braking to allow operation on a generator-based supply system. Field test results obtained on a 14-MW ship propulsion system are provided to demonstrate the system performance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
