A Computationally Efficient Model Predictive Current Control of Synchronous Reluctance Motors Based on Hysteresis Comparators

Model predictive current control (MPCC) has recently become a powerful advanced control technology in industrial drives. However, current prediction in MPCC requires a high number of voltage vectors (VVs) synthesizable by the converter, thus being computationally demanding. Accordingly, in this pape...

description Model predictive current control (MPCC) has recently become a powerful advanced control technology in industrial drives. However, current prediction in MPCC requires a high number of voltage vectors (VVs) synthesizable by the converter, thus being computationally demanding. Accordingly, in this paper, a computationally efficient MPCC of synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs) that reduces the number of VVs used for prediction is proposed. By making the most of the simplicity of hysteresis current control (HCC) and integrating it with the MPCC scheme, only four out of eight predictions are needed to determine the best VV, dramatically reducing algorithm computations. The experimental results show that the execution time can be shortened by 20% while maintaining the highest control efficiency.
