A Modulated Model Predictive Control Scheme for the Brushless Doubly Fed Induction Machine

Brushless doubly fed induction machines (BDFIMs) feature some important advantages, such as high reliability and low maintenance cost, over alternative solutions for brushless machine applications. This paper proposes a modulated model predictive control (MPC) algorithm for BDFIMs, which achieves a fixed switching frequency and superior system performance. An improvement of power quality is shown in this paper when compared to the conventional finite-control set-MPC. This paper examines the design and implementation of the modulation technique as well as presenting the simulation and experimental results to verify the technique’s operation.
