Abstract

Nowadays, Predictive Torque Control (PTC) strategy is recognized as a strong tool for controlling the motor drive. Intuitive and multi-objective controlling are significant benefits of PTC. Owing to these benefits, its application is introduced for Open Winding Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (OW-PMSM) drive. The basic PTC operated OW-PMSM drive consequences high Common Mode Voltage (CMV) and leads to early failure of motor bearings. In this paper, CMV elimination is proposed for OW-PMSM drive using voltage vector selection in PTC operation. In proposed PTC, the possible voltage vectors (VVs) are identified to gain zero CMV and preselected as prediction VVs for cost-function evaluation. From cost-function evaluation, optimal VV is considered for controlling OW-PMSM drive. In addition, decrease in switching frequency is achieved through proper utilization of optimal VV’s redundant switching states. Therefore, the overall modifications in proposed PTC of OW-PMSM drive ensure simple operational control, CMV elimination, and switching frequency and loss reduction. The claims of proposed PTC are verified through Matlab/Simulink platform and its proficiency is highlighted against basic PTC operation. Thus, the enhanced operation of proposed PTC for OW-PMSM drive with zero CMV is justified.
