Model-predictive-controller (MPC), one of the optimal control policies, has gained more attention in servo drive and other industrial applications in recent years due to evident control performance benefits compared to more classical control methods. However, an MPC algorithm solves a constrained optimization problem at each step that brings a substantial computational burden over classical control policies. This study focuses on improving the computational efficiency of an online MPC algorithm and then demonstrates its practical feasibility on the field weakening operation in high-speed PMSM control applications where the sampling frequency is in the order of mu s. We implement the existing dual active set solver by replacing two standard methods in the matrix update step to reduce the overall computational cost of the algorithm. We also rearrange the linear approximation for the constraints on voltage and current by taking the tradeoff between accuracy and speed into account. We finally verify the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed structure via processor-in-the-loop simulations and physical platform experiments.

Dordea, Toma; Munteanu, Radu; Campeanu, Aurel (2011-09-10)
The design of today's high performance synchronous motors must take into account not only the steady state but also practically inevitable dynamic regimes. In such conditions an accurate predetermination of the parameters and constructive solution by modeling and simulation of the given dynamic operation, becomes a mandatory step. In this aim, in the present paper a novel mathematical model of the high power salient pole synchronous machine (SPSM) is elaborated. We proposed to consider especially the effect...
An Integration method over a moving window for exponential convergence in adaptive control without persistency of excitation
Yayla, Metehan; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016)
Adaptive control has great capabilities in control of uncertain systems to maintain a consistent and desired performance. Another control methodology concerning the uncertain systems is the robust control. It is well-known that the robust control has advantages of dealing with external disturbances, unmodeled dynamics, and quickly varying uncertain parameters. Nonetheless, robustness against these environmental, and parametric uncertainties degrades the tracking performance. Besides, adaptive control can to...
A New Model Predictive Torque Control Strategy with Reduced Set of Prediction Vectors
Şahin, İlker; Keysan, Ozan (2018-04-12)
Major drawback of finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) is its high computational burden. This paper proposes a new optimal vector selection strategy that reduces the computational cost of FCS-MPC technique. Considering two-level voltage source inverters (2L-VSI) utilized as motor drives, proposed strategy reduces the number of active prediction vectors from six to three. Hence, cost function is evaluated only for four vectors (three active and one zero). Moreover, between the two possible z...
