An Optimized Predictive Current Control for Induction Machines with A Parallel Cost Function

Based on the finite control set predictive current control, a parallel control strategy is proposed in this paper. According to the characteristic of current control in electric drive system, a new predictive current control algorithm, which designs two parallel cost functions to evaluate all possible voltage vectors and uses an adaptive selection strategy to select the optimal one, is formulated. In particular, this algorithm eliminates the monotonous weighting factor tuning work and achieves better control performance simultaneously. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm has been confirmed by experimental results in induction machine system.
