Abstract

Predictive torque control (PTC) is a promising control method for electric machines due to its simplicity, fast dynamics, ability to handle nonlinearities, and easy inclusion of additional control objectives. The main challenge in conventional PTC design is to determine the weighting factors in the cost function. These weighting factors are generally chosen by the trial-and-error method or metaheuristic optimization algorithms, but these methods may not apply the optimum voltage vectors according to changing operating conditions. There are also several studies on the elimination of the weighting factors. This paper proposes two weighting factorless PTC strategies with lower computational complexities than the current literature. To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed methods, their performances are experimentally compared to those of the existing methods through a test bed equipped with an induction motor. Finally, two PTC strategies with a simple design and improved performance are introduced to the literature.
