Abstract

In this paper, an improved finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC) with an optimized weighting factor is presented. The main goal of this paper is reducing the torque ripples when the FCS-MPC is implemented by means of the two-level inverter. For this purpose, the weighting factor is calculated via an optimization method. The optimization is based on dividing the control interval into two parts: active time for applying the active voltage vectors and zero time for applying the zero voltage. With this technique, the torque ripple is calculated as a function of weighting factor and it is optimized. The method is validated by simulations and experiments, using two-level inverter, at two speed regions (nominal speed and low speed). The results are compared with conventional FCS-MPC.
