Multi-Vector-Based Model Predictive Current Control with Zero-Sequence Current Suppression for Three-Phase Series-End Winding Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drives

To suppress the zero-sequence current and enhance the steady-state performance of the three-phase series-end winding permanent magnet synchronous motor (TPSW-PMSM) drives, a multi-vector-based model predictive current control scheme with zero-sequence current suppression is developed in this paper. The concept of the desired voltage is utilized to preselect the candidate voltage vectors and offer the guidance of the geometric division of the sector. In one sampling period, multi-voltage vectors are employed, and the combinations include one active voltage vector and one null voltage vector, and two active voltage vectors, which improves the steady-state performance. Meanwhile, the duty cycle of each voltage vector is derived based on an intuitive geometric expression of the cost function. Further, the relationship between the zero-sequence voltage injection and the switching sequence is revealed, and it is employed to suppress the zero-sequence current actively. In addition, overmodulation operation is also taken into consideration in the proposed scheme. Finally, the experimental study validates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. © 2022 IEEE.
