Abstract:The traditional model predictive control (MPC) of dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (DTP-PMSM) only applies one voltage vector in one cycle control, resulting in poor control performance, especially the torque fluctuation in steady state. In order to solve this problem, a multi-vector model predictive torque control (MPTC) strategy based on virtual voltage vector (VVV) is proposed. The proposed strategy applies multiple voltage vectors in one cycle control, which can expand the vector modulation range. By this way, the torque ripple can be suppressed and the steady-state performance have been improved. In addition, VVV are adopted in the strategy so as to suppress the harmonic current. The cost function with no weighting factor is selected to select the candidate vector combinations, which reduces the complexity of the algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed strategy is verified by comparing it with the traditional dual vector MPTC on the experimental platform.
