A Simplified MPFC With Capacitor Voltage Offset Suppression for the Four-Switch Three-Phase Inverter-Fed PMSM Drive

Abstract

This paper proposes a simplified model predictive flux control (S-MPFC) for a four-switch three-phase inverter (FSTPI)-fed permanent-magnet-synchronous-motor (PMSM) drive system with the consideration of capacitor voltage offset suppression. A stator flux compensator is introduced to fulfill the capacitor voltage offset suppression. A reference stator flux vector is obtained to represent the reference flux, the reference torque, and the capacitor voltage offset based on the i <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">d</sub> = 0 control mode. Therefore, the flux vector is taken as the only control term in the cost function without any dreary weighting factor tuning work. Moreover, an offset flux error is defined according to the inherent features of the FSTPI, therefore, the optimal voltage vector can be selected in the stationary reference frame using a simple sector division and only one prediction calculation. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed S-MPFC.
