Abstract

In practice, inverter dead time and digital signal processing delay are influential factors in classic predictive control performance. In this paper, delay compensation in finite-set model predictive current control (FS-MPCC) and inverter dead-time compensation in deadbeat predictive control are considered to improve permanent magnet synchronous machine control steady-state error, current and torque ripples, reduce the computational burden, correct inverter dead time-induced deviation, and reduce the sensitivity of parameter uncertainties. Deadbeat control uses a space vector modulation (SWM) block and converts the controller output voltage into duty cycles imposed on the inverter ensuring a fixed inverter switching frequency as opposed to FS-MPCC, which uses a finite set of switching states with a variable switching frequency (without modulation). The second approach looks at how a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy logic speed controller (TS-FLC) can be applied to operate an intelligent system, offering a great current reference, which is crucial for the design of the FS-MPCC cost function and the deadbeat inner-loop control. A speed estimation observer based on a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) is suggested. By eliminating the encoder or speed sensor, the observer improves system reliability, boosts control performance, and reduces costs. The chosen FS-MPCC and deadbeat controller will be built and used in the laboratory utilizing DSpace.1104. The experimental results comparison shows that both FS-MPCC and deadbeat can be well applied to the PMSM driving system with good speed tracking performance. However, the FS-MPCC can achieve less harmonics in the stator currents and shows advantages in smaller ripples in the mechanical torque.
