Abstract

A formalism is defined to describe systems composed of several electrical machines with several electrical and/or mechanical converters. So, a first classification of multi-converter multi-machine systems is proposed in order to point out their influences on the global power conversion: cost reduction, conversion quality... Three examples are presented with this specific formalism.
