Model-Based Predictive Current Controllers in Multiphase Drives Dealing with Natural Reduction of Harmonic Distortion
Description
An important drawback in the application of model-based predictive controllers
for multiphase systems is the relatively high harmonic content. Harmonics arise due to the
fixed sampling-time nature and the absence of modulation methods in the control technique.
Recent research works have proposed different procedures to overcome this disadvantage at
the expense of increasing the complexity of the controller and, in most cases, the computational
requirements. There are, however, natural ways to face this harmonic generation that have been barely
explored in the scientific literature. These alternatives include the use of variable sampling times or
the application of the observer theory, whose utility has been stated without excessively increasing
the computational cost of the controller. This paper presents the basis of both methodologies,
analyzing their interest as natural alternatives to mitigate the generation of harmonic components in
modern electrical drives when using predictive controllers. A five-phase induction machine is used
as a case example to experimentally validate the study and draw conclusions.
