Abstract
ABSTRACT In this article, predictive torque control (PTC) of multi-level inversion (MLI) fed open-end winding induction motor (OEWIM) drive has been developed with predictive angle control technique. The classical PTC of induction motor drive involves direct control of torque and flux. The combination of direct torque control (DTC) with model predictive control (MPC) offers all the features of classical DTC and in addition it is easily implementable for MLI fed induction motor drives. This article introduces predictive angle control strategy for MLI fed OEWIM drive to reduce torque ripple, where as the classical PTC algorithm uses magnitudes of torque and flux. The proposed algorithm is developed by controlling the angle between stator flux and stator current, the voltage space vectors of MLI fed OEWIM drive are classified according to operating frequency range. The proposed PTC algorithm requires same computational time as that of classical PTC. The proposed algorithms are verified through simulation and experimental studies.
