Performance improvements of a permanent magnet synchronous machine via functional model predictive control (Q446449): Difference between revisions

Summary: This paper investigates the application of the Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach to control the speed of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drive system. The MPC is used to calculate the optimal control actions including system constraints. To alleviate the computational effort and to reduce numerical problems, particularly in large prediction horizon, an exponentially weighted Functional Model Predictive Control (FMPC) is employed. In order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed FMPC scheme, the performance of the proposed controller is compared with a classical PI controller through simulation studies. Obtained results show that accurate tracking performance of the PMSM has been achieved.
