description This paper proposes a modified primary flux linkage and an improved weighting less model predictive control for linear induction motors (LIMs) to enhance the drive system in terms of linear speed response, wide speed range, efficiency, and computation time. Sliding mode controller is presented in this work to get quick response instead of the use of the PI controller. A weighting less model predictive flux control (MPFC) is employed to eliminate the weighting factor and reduce the computation time. Furthermore, the optimum value of the primary flux linkage is calculated to guarantee higher efficiency under the operation of maximum thrust per ampere, loss minimization control and wider speed range in the field weakening region. The FCS-MPFC uses only the primary flux in the cost function independent on the weighting factor. Moreover, simplified calculation process can be executed greatly in the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\alpha \beta $ </tex-math></inline-formula>-coordinates without transformation matrix, where the end-effect is fully taken into consideration. In comparison with the PI controller under different conditions, the proposed control method can achieve faster dynamics with lower thrust ripple, computation time, and so on. Comprehensive simulation and experimental results based on one prototype with 3 kW linear induction machine have verified the advantages of the proposed strategy in this work.
