title = "A Generalized Multilevel Inverter & Slotless Permanent Magnet Motor-Drive Co-Design Framework",
abstract = "Slotless machines have been shown to have exceptional power density and suitability for aerospace propulsion applications. Their low inductance places specific considerations on the drive requirements and design. Multilevel interleaved converters have been frequently proposed as a solution, but have not been specifically optimized for this application. This paper proposes an analysis and motor-drive codesign framework to maximize system-level power density and efficiency for these class of drives. Inverter output spectrum estimation is coupled with motor loss analysis to iteratively arrive at the optimal drive design. The proposed co-design and optimization framework shows that multi-level inverter based motor-drives can achieve significantly higher system power density and efficiency than conventional 2-level drives.",
