An Improved Finite Control Set Model Predictive Current Control Strategy for Five-Phase PMSMs

In this paper, finite control set model predictive current control strategy for five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor is analysed. At first, virtual voltage vectors are adopted to avoid including all the 32 voltage vectors of five-phase inverter into the control set. Besides, under different rotor speed, estimated voltage vector is predicted in advance so that a new online updated adaptive control set can be established with proper voltage amplitude and only three vectors. Consequently, current ripples and computational burden can be much reduced. At last, experimental results are presented and indicate the performance improvement of the proposed control strategy.
