Abstract
Finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) is a control strategy with fast response and a simple and flexible structure. However, when the control plant is complicated such as a multiphase electric machine, the application of FCS-MPC faces clear challenges. This article for the first time investigates the FCS-MPC for a nine-phase open-end winding (OW) permanent magnet synchronous machine, which is powered by nine H-bridge inverters with a common dc bus. First, in order to solve the challenge of substantial iterations in the conventional FCS-MPC, the number of control sets is simplified by reconfiguring the high level in switching states. Then, to eliminate the zero-sequence current caused by the common dc bus, the zero common-mode voltage (CMV) vector is selected. Subsequently, duty-ratio optimization is used to further reduce the available vectors. By the abovementioned measures, the number of iterations is reduced from 19 171 to 18. In order to suppress the harmonic current, the virtual voltage vectors (VVs) are designed. Each VV is synthesized by two zero CMV vectors, which can eliminate all the third and fifth harmonics in the output voltage. In addition, to achieve symmetrical pulsewidth modulation pulse sequences, a general pulse generation method for OW drive systems is proposed. Finally, the control performance of different control sets and harmonic weighting factors are evaluated and compared, and the experimental results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
