Stator Fixed Deadbeat Predictive Torque and Flux Control of a PMSM Drive with Modulated Duty Cycle

Conventional deadbeat control strategies for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) are commonly developed reference frames, however, coupling dynamics affect the performance drive, and rotational transformations are required for the synthesis of the final voltage vector (VV). To improve robustness against parameter variations and to directly synthesize the reference voltage vector, in this paper a deadbeat predictive torque and flux control for a PMSM is presented. The proposed controller is developed in the stationary reference frame (alpha-beta). First, the reference VV is obtained from a predictive deadbeat controller. Then, the reference VV is applied to the power inverter by the combination of two voltage vectors. A duty cycle optimization is employed to calculate the required time for the application of each voltage vector. Experimental results based on an FPGA and a comparison of the conventional and the proposed deadbeat controller are presented to validate the proposed methodology.
