The parallel three-phase voltage source inverters have been widely used to raise system power rating. However, the zero-sequence circulating current can be generated according to switching method in the direct connection scheme. Zero-sequence circulating current not only distorts current but also reduces system reliability and efficiency. In this paper, model predictive control scheme is proposed...

The cost function of finite control set model predictive torque and flux control uses a weighting factor to determine the trade-off between the torque and flux magnitude tracking errors. The choice of this weighting factor strongly influences the current distortions. It will be shown that the optimal weight, which minimizes the current distortions, can be computed algebraically. Furthermore, using...

Obtaining better harmonic profile at relatively lower switching frequencies is one of the key tasks in the present day power electronics world. Several pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques have been developed earlier in time, to reduce the harmonic content from the output of the inverter.

Model predictive control (MPC) has recently emerged as a powerful control method for ac motor drives, featuring quick dynamic response and intuitive concept. However, conventional MPC requires lots of calculation resources due to the enumeration of each possible voltage vector, especially in the case of a multilevel converter. To achieve good performance with low switching frequency for high power...

High performance drives with induction machines require use of vector control. The direct torque control and field oriented control are nowadays two most applied vector control methods. The main advantage of the method for direct torque control of induction machines is its simplicity and therefore its robustness.

In this paper, an optimal switching table for PMSM DTC system using zero voltage vector is proposed. Zero voltage vector decreases stator flux and torque very slowly, so it can be used to suppress torque ripple when the system is at steady-state. And when the system is at dynamic-state, non-zero voltage is used to get quicker response. As both 111 and 000 can be used to generate zero voltage vector,...

The finite-control-set model predictive direct torque control (FCS-MPDTC) is a novel and promising control scheme for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). An important feature of FCS-MPDTC is that the eight possible voltage space vectors or switching combinations of the power converters are directly taken into account as the control input of the system. Due to the considerable torque and flux...
