Variable Switching Point Parallel Predictive Current Control (VSP3CC) for Induction Motor

This paper presents a variable switching point parallel predictive current control (VSP
³
CC) strategy for an induction motor. VSP
³
CC is introduced as one method of the Finite-Set Model Predictive Control (FS-MPC) methodology. VSP
³
CC implements parallel predictive current control (PPCC) algorithm by means of a variable switching point. In this way, not only can a switching state be applied for less than a whole sample cycle which results in a lower current ripple, but weighting factor can also be eliminated. Experimental results are provided to verify the performance of VSP
³
CC strategy.
