Abstract:
This paper proposes an explicit predictive current control scheme implemented with a low carrier frequency pulsewidth modulation (PWM) on an induction machine fed by a three-level neutral point clamped inverter. The PWM carrier and the main current sampling frequency are both set to 1 kHz, resulting in a 500 Hz average switching frequency per device, which is very suitable for large drive applications. The explicit predictive control is introduced to optimize the available bandwidth provided by such a low sampling frequency, maximizing the dynamic performance. The strategy has been tested in a 2.2-kW induction motor experimental prototype.
