Abstract:
This paper presents a new control method for a matrix-converter-based induction machine drive. A discrete model of the converter, motor, and input filter is used to predict the behavior of torque, flux, and input power to the drive. The switching state that optimizes the value of a quality function, used as the evaluation criterion, is selected and applied during the next discrete-time interval. Experimental results confirm that the proposed strategy gives high-quality control of the torque, flux, and power factor with a fast dynamic control response. The key implementation issues are analyzed in depth to give an overview of the realization aspects of the proposed algorithm.
