Abstract
This paper presents an improved torque predictive control (TPC) for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) using an indirect matrix converter (IMC). The IMC has characteristics such as a high power density and sinusoidal waveforms of the input-output currents. Additionally, this configuration does not have any DC-link capacitors. Due to these advantages of the IMC, it is used in various application field such as electric vehicles and railway cars. Recently, research on various torque control methods for PMSM drives using an IMC is being actively pursued. In this paper, an improved TPC method for PMSM drives using an IMC is proposed. In the improved TPC method, the magnitudes of the voltage vectors applied to control the torque and flux of the PMSM are adjusted depending on the PMSM torque control such as the steady state and transient response. Therefore, it is able to reduce the ripples of the output current and torque in the low-speed and high-speed load ranges. Additionally, the improved TPC can improve the dynamic torque response when compared with the conventional TPC. The effectiveness of the improved TPC method is verified by experimental results.
