Multiobjective Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control Using Novel Delay Compensation Technique for PMSM

This article proposes a new finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) strategy that simultaneously evaluates two targeting control objectives including speed and currents in a single cost function, achieving high-performance single-closed-loop control structure. Besides, aiming at the calculation delay problem of the model predictive control controllers, a novel calculation delay compensation method by predicting the current variation within the delay time is proposed. In this article, an improved machine model that is especially designed for the multiobjective FCS-MPC operation is illustrated at first. Then, a new cost function that can evaluate the tracking performance of speed and d-axis current and the steady-state performance of the q-axis current is developed. Compared with the conventional FCS-MPC approaches, extra speed controllers are not needed so that the proposed control topology becomes simpler. Then, in order to tune the weighting factors for the speed and currents in the cost function, an efficient handling strategy containing two implementation procedures, state variable normalization and balance of state sensitivity to voltage alteration, is developed. Finally, a brand-new computation delay estimation and compensation technique based on the dual sampling within a control period is proposed to reduce the current and torque ripples during the control process. Comparative simulation and experiments conducted on a three-phase 1.5-kW permanent magnet synchronous machine drive system are employed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.
