Title
Efficient Multivariable Generalized Predictive Control for Sensorless Induction Motor Drives
Abstract
This paper presents the design and the experimental validation of a new linear multivariable generalized predictive control for speed and rotor flux of induction motor. This control approach has been designed in the d-q rotating reference frame, and the indirect vector control has been employed. Load and flux observers, as well as the possibility of including a model-reference-adaptive-system speed estimator, have been considered in the implementation. The proposed controller not only provides enhanced dynamic performance but also guarantees compliance with physical voltage and current constraints. Hence, it ensures that the space vector pulsewidth modulation (SVPWM) always operates in the linear area and that the stator windings are not damaged due to overcurrent. Moreover, the controller includes a novel torque current tracker that allows obtaining an effective electromagnetic torque without a chattering phenomenon. Several simulation and experimental tests have been carried out, both in suitable and adverse conditions, even at zero speed zone, demonstrating that the proposed controller provides an efficient speed tracking and suggesting its use in industry.
