Latest Advances of Model Predictive Control in Electrical Drives. Part II: Basic Concepts and Advanced Strategies
The application This paper presents the application of Model Predictive Control (MPC) in high-performance drives. A wide variety of machines have been considered: induction machines, synchronous machines, linear motors, switched reluctance motors, and multiphase machines. The control of these machines has been done by introducing minor and easy-to-understand modifications to the basic predictive control concept, showing the high flexibility and simplicity of the strategy. The second part of the paper is dedicated to the performance comparison of MPC with classical control techniques such as field-oriented control and direct torque control. The comparison considers the dynamic behavior of the drive and steady-state performance metrics such as inverter losses, current distortion in the motor, and acoustic noise. The main conclusion is that MPC is very competitive concerning classic control methods by reducing the inverter losses and the current distortion with comparable acoustic noise.

This paper showed that Model Predictive Control is being used successfully in high-performance motor drive applications. With little effort, MPC has been applied in field-oriented control and direct control of flux and torque. Two different and interesting strategies have solved the classical problem of weighting factor calculation in the cost
