| 摘要 |
A matrix of power switches that directs current flow through multiple inductors which are electrically connected within a power conversion machine, wherein the power switch matrix electrically connects each end of each of the inductors to at least one of: 1) a first power rail, 2) a second power rail, 3) an upstream one of the multiple inductors, 4) a downstream one of the multiple inductors, and 5) an open circuit connection. The power switch matrix can be controlled by a controller that causes the matrix to configure the inductors in various electrically connected configurations. The controller can use data received from sensors to determine the various electrically connected configurations and can periodically switch between the electrically connected configurations to minimize power losses and/or vibrations in and maximize torque of the machine under extended operating conditions. |
