Position Controller for PMSM Based on Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control

The paper presents the position control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor by using the finite control set model predictive control. The position, speed and acceleration references are generated by a ramp generator. A new cost function, including feed-forward and load torque compensations, is introduced. In order to save the computational power, a combination of a predictive speed control with proportional position controller is explored as well. Presented methods are compared to the conventional field oriented control structure by a simulation.
