EXTENDED CLARKE TRANSFORMATION FOR n-PHASE SYSTEMS
The article describes how to convert space vectors written in a stationary multiphase system, consisting of a number of phases where n > 3, to the stationary alfa beta orthogonal coordinate system. The transformation of vectors from a stationary n-phase system to the stationary alfa beta orthogonal coordinate system is defined The inverse transformation of a vector written in the orthogonal coordinate system to a stationary n-phase system is also defined. The application of the extended Clarke transformation allows control calculations to be performed in both stationary alfa beta or rotating dq orthogonal coordinate systems. This gives the possibility of performing different control strategies. It has a practical application for drive systems with five-phase, six-phase or dual three-phase motors.
