Low-Complexity Deadbeat Model Predictive Current Control for Open-Winding PMSM Drive With Zero-Sequence Current Suppression

The application of model predictive current control (MPCC) on the open-winding permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drive system confronts the challenge of complexity due to the enumeration process and the multiobjective cost function evaluation. In this article, a new low-complexity MPCC is proposed to eliminate the online enumeration process and the cost function evaluation. In the proposed scheme, the reference voltage vector components are calculated based on the deadbeat principles. Then, the optimal voltage vector that matches the reference vector is selected from the control set based on predefined optimization criteria. These criteria are defined offline by solving the conventional current control cost function in the 3-D (

–
$\beta $
–
$z$
), utilizing new 3-D analysis. The proposed control scheme is compared with the conventional finite control set (FCS)-MPCC and the existing 3-D-MPCC schemes using MATLAB simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) results. Compared with conventional FCS-MPCC and 3-D-MPCC schemes, the proposed control scheme presents the same salient features, such as fast dynamic response, low output current/torque ripple, and zero-sequence current suppression. The computational complexity of the proposed control scheme is much lower than the conventional FCS-MPCC.
