Abstract
The conventional finite set–predictive torque control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) suffers from large flux and torque ripples, as well as high current harmonic distortions. Introducing the discrete space vector modulation (DSVM) into the predictive torque control (PTC-DSVM) can improve its steady-state performance; however, the control complexity is further increased owing to the large voltage–vector lookup table that increases the burden of memory. A simplified PTC-DSVM with 73 synthesized voltage vectors (VVs) is proposed herein, for further improving the steady-state performance of the PMSM drives with a significantly lower complexity and without requiring a VV lookup table. The proposed scheme for reducing the computation burden is designed to select an optimal zone of space vector diagram (SVD) in the utilized DSVM based on the torque demand. Hence, only 10 out of 73 admissible VVs will be initiated online upon the optimal SVD zone selection. Additionally, with the proposed algorithm, no flux error is required to control the flux demand. The proposed PTC-DSVM exhibits high performance features, such as low complexity with less memory utilization, reduced torque and flux ripples, and less redundant VVs in the prediction process. The simulation and experimental results for the 11 kW PMSM drive are presented to prove the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
Highlights
Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) have garnered significant attentions in industrial applications [1,2]
A few control algorithms can be used to drive PMSMs for high-performance applications, such as direct torque control (DTC), which has the merits of simple configuration, fast torque dynamic, and less parameter sensitivity
The variations of DTC include finite set-predictive torque control (FS-PTC), which has experienced substantial growth compared with other control algorithms owing to its interesting advantages, such as intuitive concept, fast dynamics, and easy realization [11,12,13,14]
