A Modified Double Vectors Model Predictive Torque Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

Duty cycle model predictive torque control (Duty-MPTC) only uses zero vector as the second vector to form vector combinations, which restricts its torque control performance. This paper proposes a modified double vectors model predictive torque control (DVMPTC) by reasonably selecting active vector instead of zero vector. By analyzing the regulation of torque and flux of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), the torque and flux difference parameters are obtained, and then a second vector selection table is established to determine the best vector combination for torque ripple suppression. Based on the torque and flux difference parameters, the duty cycle calculation method is proposed to reduce the calculation burden of the control system. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments with a 6-kW PMSM are carried out. Compared to the Duty-MPTC, the proposed DVMPTC method can significantly reduce the torque ripples with good dynamic performance and relatively low average switching frequency.
