Improved Model Predictive Speed Control of a PMSM via Laguerre Functions

This paper proposes a model predictive speed control strategy for a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor by applying Laguerre functions. The model predictive controller (MPC) incorporates an integrator. A quadratic programming procedure is applied to solve the constrained optimization problem online. The paper also provides a solution for stability. The performance efficiency of the proposed scheme is validated by comparing the results with the performance of an optimal linear quadratic regulator, conventional state-space model predictive control, and a simple MPC algorithm with integral action. Extensive simulation results confirm the efficacy of the proposed scheme, showing that it achieves good steady-state performance while maintaining a fast dynamic response. © 2024 Chala Merga Abdissa.
