Predictive Current Duty Cycle Control for Induction Motor Based on Reference Voltage

Model predictive current control has received a great deal of attention in the field of induction motor drives. However, the most methods select voltage vectors based on enumeration and cost function, so it greatly increases control system complexity. In order to reduce control complexity and further improve steady-state control performance, a predictive current duty cycle control based on the reference voltage (PCDCC-RV) is proposed in this paper. The applied voltage vector is determined based on the location of the synthesized reference voltage, so the complicated enumeration process is cancelled. In addition, the control duty cycle is calculated based on the principle of minimum error between the selected vector and reference voltage. Compared with the traditional method, the proposed method of voltage vector selection and duty cycle calculation are more convenient, and the better control performance is obtained. Finally, simulation results prove its effectiveness.
