Model Predictive Current Control based Three-Level Inverter fed Five Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive

Industrial standards of torque control techniques like Direct Torque Control (DTC) and Field Oriented Control (FOC) are complex and do not achieve precise torque control, this work presents the implementation of Model Predictive Current Control (MPCC) for a Three-Level Inverter (3LI) fed Five Phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) Drive. The objective is to minimize the torque ripple and reduce complexity using MPCC technique for the Three-level Inverter (3LI). This paper includes steady state and transient analysis under sudden load changes, speed reversal, step change of speed, and load variations. In order to show effectiveness of MPCC based 3LI fed PMSM it is compared with 2LI fed PMSM drive. A mathematical model of MPPC is presented and simulated, and the operational behavior of the MPCC-based 3LI fed Five Phase PMSM drive is evaluated using MATLAB/SIMULINK simulation platform.
