Abstract :
PMSM motors are suitable for applications that require precise measurement of torque, speed, or position, and because of their characteristics, they are used in military, industrial, and automation systems, and they can be a suitable alternative to traditional induction motors. Classical controllers are widely used in controlling the speed of permanent magnet synchronous motors; But these controllers do not perform well due to the non-linear characteristics of the motor or in the presence of disturbances and load changes. The model predictive control method can optimize the future control path to achieve the desired dynamic efficiency. In this paper, the performance of the model predictive control (MPC) method is compared with vector control (FOC), direct torque control (DTC), hysteresis control, and classical PWM-based linear control. Also, due to the importance of the issue of losses, comparative studies of switching losses are conducted between different control methods and model predictive control method in three-phase two-level voltage source inverters. The results obtained show that the model predictive control method effectively controls the load current and has a much better performance compared to the classical methods. Finally, the simulation results are compared and analyzed.
