Abstract
An electrical power converter comprises a first direct current line connected to a first direct current source, a second direct current line connected to a second direct current source, an alternating current line connected to an alternating current motor, a controller, and a pulse generator. The controller determines a required torque of the alternating current motor. The controller also determines a voltage command value that substantially minimizes a copper loss of the alternating current motor while providing the required torque of the alternating current motor. The pulse generator generates an output voltage according to the voltage command value at the alternating current output.
