Decoupled Fault-Tolerant Model Predictive Current Control for Dual Three-Phase PMSMs With Harmonic Compensation

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This article proposes a decoupled fault-tolerant model predictive current control for a dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor with harmonic compensation. The harmonics caused by nonsinusoidal back electromotive force can be well controlled under the open-circuit fault scenario by designing a harmonic closed-loop scheme. First, a decoupled predictive model and fault-tolerant voltage vectors are deduced based on a reduced-dimension matrix, which can eliminate the coupling issues between the harmonic and fundamental subspaces. Afterward, a uniform harmonic-free virtual vector is constructed by rearranging the irregular voltage vectors. More importantly, a virtual null vector is designed in the scheme, where the virtual null vector is effective in the harmonic subspace and has no components in the fundamental subspace. So, the harmonics can be further controlled without affecting torque and flux generation. Extensive experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
