Abstract

In this article, a low-cost multistep finite control set model predictive current control (FCS-MPCC) using a dc link single current sensor is proposed for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). In order to reduce the system cost, the single dc link current sensor is used to reconstruct the three-phase current. Different from the current reconstruction technology of field-orientated control strategy, there are some problems of the existed current reconstruction technology applied for finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC). First, the optimal switching state of FCS-MPC in each cycle is not fixed, and only contains at most one phase current information for reconstruction, which will cause the reconstruction failure. Therefore, a multiperiod sampling method is proposed to obtain the different two-phase current information to reconstruction. Second, the uncertainty of the two-phase reconstruction current interval will lead to current error, so this article proposes a variable period compensation method to solve this problem. Moreover, in order to improve the system closed-loop performance without significantly increasing the computational cost and enhance the system reliability, a low-cost multistep FCS-MPCC strategy based on the reconstructed three-phase current is proposed for PMSM. Finally, simulation and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the low-cost multistep FCS-MPCC method using a dc link single current sensor reconstruction for PMSM.
