An Assessment of Finite Control Set Predictive Current Control with Concept of Variable Switching Point or Parallel Cost Function for Induction Motor

This paper presents an assessment of finite-control-set predictive current control with concept of variable switching point or parallel cost function for induction motor. Based on the concept of variable switching point or parallel cost function, variable switching point predictive current control (VSP2CC), parallel predictive current control (PPCC), and variable switching point parallel predictive current control (VSP3CC) were proposed by different researchers to tackle the drawbacks of traditional PCC strategy. Simulation results and experimental results are provided to offer a detailed comparison among these four different current control strategies for an induction motor.
