Predictive field-oriented control of PMSM with space vector modulation technique

This paper is concerned with two popular and powerful methods in electrical drive applications: field-oriented control (FOC) and space vector modulation (SVM). The proposed FOC-SVM method is incorporated with a predictive current control (PCC)-based technique. The suggested method estimates the desirable electrical torque to track mechanical torque at a fixed speed operation of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The estimated torque is used to calculate the reference current based on FOC. In order to improve the performance of the traditional SVM, a PCC method is established as a switching pattern modifier. Therefore, PCC-based SVM is employed to further minimize the torque ripples and transient response. The performance of the controller is evaluated in terms of torque and current ripple and transient response to step variations of the torque command. The proposed method has been verified with MATLAB-Simulink model. Simulation results confirm the ability of this technique in minimizing the torque and speed ripples and fixing switching frequency, simultaneously. However, it is sensitive to parameter changes.
