Model predictive control method with common-mode voltage suppression for dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor
Recently, the interest in model predictive control (MPC) and dual three-phase drives has been growing rapidly. Due to the high redundancy of voltage vector in the system composed of dual three-phase permanent magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM) and six-phase inverter, the computational complexity and current harmonics of MPC are high. In addition, the zero vector has been used by traditional MPC, which will cause higher common-mode voltage. In this paper, a novel MPC method with twice predictions and synthetic vectors is proposed which can not only suppress common-mode voltage, but also reduce computational complexity and current harmonics. The mathematical model of a dual three-phase PMSM are verified by the experimental results under the common-mode voltage suppression.
