Current Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Using Improved Model Predictive Control

Abstract

Model predictive control (MPC) is a powerful tool for the control of permanent magnet synchronous motors. However, conventional MPC permits using a single voltage vector during one control interval. This results in higher current distortions and large torque ripples. Sensitivity to control parameters is another issue associated with conventional MPC. The duty cycle suggests using an active vector and a null vector during one sampling interval. The method needs excessive computational and prediction effort. Furthermore, a necessary zero vector as the second vector might not give the optimal results. To overcome the problems of computational burden, this paper proposes that a reference voltage vector can be calculated and used to determine the voltage vector to be used for the next interval. This reduces the computational effort to a minimum. Furthermore, it is proposed that the second vector can either be active or null. To overcome the problem of parameter dependence, an electromotive force is calculated on basis of previous values. Simulations have been carried out to verify the efficacy of the proposed method.

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine Control Performance and Analysis for Environment-Friendly Electric Vehicle Applications

“…Field-oriented theory is utilized to regulate the space vectors of magnetic flux, current, and voltage in the elegant control approach known as vector control for a PM synchronous motor. The coordinate system may be set up to separate the vectors into components that produce magnetic fields and torque [11][12][13][14]. This vector control method was created specially to give PM synchronous motors a similarly dynamic performance.…”
