Improved finite set-predictive torque control of PMSM fed by indirect matrix converter with discrete space vector modulation

Abstract

This study presents finite set-predictive torque control (FS-PTC) with discrete space vector modulation (DSVM) for indirect matrix converter (IMC)-fed permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). The implementation of FS-PTC with DSVM in an IMC requires high computation time due to the large number of synthesized voltage vectors (VVs). To reduce computation time caused by considering all VVs, a new preselection strategy is proposed to reduce the computational numerations from 37 to 6 VVs. The proposed algorithm can reduce torque and flux ripples and achieve robust characteristics against parameter variations. Additionally, the increased degree of VVs can improve the correlation between the rectifier and inverter sides of the IMC. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.
