Predictive-space vector PWM current control method for asymmetrical dual three-phase induction motor drives

The interest in multiphase drives has re-emerged in the last decade, being the asymmetrical dual three-phase induction motor drive one of the most popular options. Predictive control techniques, already implemented in three-phase drives, have been recently adapted to the multiphase case. Schemes proposed so far have demonstrated high performance at the expenses of a higher degree of computational cost and ill-defined switching frequency. In this study, a predictive space vector PWM (SVPWM) current control technique with fixed switching frequency is proposed for asymmetrical dual three-phase AC drives. Fast torque and current response are achieved similar to those obtained using conventional predictive current control techniques. Electrical noise suppression is favoured as in PWM current control methods. Experimental results are provided to examine the benefits of the proposed control method.
