Project description

Driving multiple rotors at different and variable speeds with a single electrical winding and supply is a challenge but offers advantages. With the proposed research project, ensemble-control based algorithms are studied, capable to steer the power-electronics supply of the stator winding common
to multiple rotors. A single-stator double-rotor electrical-drive prototype is included, aimed at, amongst other applications, frictionless speed rectification.
