In this paper a switched Model Predictive Control strategy is applied for the speed regulation of a powertrain system composed of an electrical motor connected to a rotating load through an elastic shaft and a gear, which introduces backlash. The system is described through a piecewise-affine model and a different control law is designed for...

A new method for electrical motor drives self-commissioning, with elastic couplings and backlash, is presented. The heuristic algorithm Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been used for the identification and optimization of parameters. Initially, a model-based identification procedure is performed to evaluate the parameters of the system....

A new algorithm for position and speed estimation in permanent magnet synchronous motors is presented, which is based on the high frequency signal injection and uses an algebraic approach. Motor inductances are estimated by simple mathematical relationships and motor position and speed are tracked using a phase locked loop technique. The...

This paper presents a new speed finite control set model predictive control algorithm, which has been applied to a permanent-magnet synchronousmotor driven by a matrix converter (MC). This method replaces the classical cascaded control scheme with a single control law that controls the motor currents and speed. Additionally, unlike classicalMC...

This paper investigates the feasibility of a sensorless field-oriented control combined with a finitecontrol set model predictive current control (FCS-MPC) for an interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor. The use of an FCS-MPC makes the implementation of most of the existing sensorless techniques difficult due to the lack of a modulator. The...

This paper presents a new Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) algorithm with sensorless mains voltage detection, which has been applied to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) driven by a Matrix Converter (MC). Unlike classical MC modulation methods, FCS-MPC allows direct control of the MC input currents. The mains...
