Abstract
A cascaded controller for controlling a kinetic three-phase synchronous machine comprises a current control circuitry and an active power control circuitry operatively coupled with the current controller circuitry. The current control circuitry is configured to regulate a magnitude of inrush stator current for a stator of the kinetic three-phase synchronous machine by producing a first voltage control signal causing a flow of active power in the kinetic three-phase synchronous machine. The active power control circuitry is configured to produce a second voltage control signal to reduce the active power to zero, based on the first voltage control signal. The second voltage control signal controls a phase angle of the inrush stator current such that the stator current vector is oriented to align with a magnet axis of the rotor.
