Abstract
Classical model-free predictive current control (MFPCC) is a robust control technique for a two-level inverter-fed induction-motor drive, with advantages that consist of a simple concept, rapid response, simple implementation, and excellent performance. However, the classic finite-control-set MFPCC still exhibits a significant current ripple. [...] Read more.
Classical model-free predictive current control (MFPCC) is a robust control technique for a two-level inverter-fed induction-motor drive, with advantages that consist of a simple concept, rapid response, simple implementation, and excellent performance. However, the classic finite-control-set MFPCC still exhibits a significant current ripple. This article presents a method to enhance performance using a combination of model-free predictive current control (MFPCC) and discrete-space vector modulation (DSVM). The MFPCC employs an ultralocal model with an extended-state observer (ESO) that does not consider motor parameters, therefore improving the control system’s reliability by eliminating the parameter dependency. The proposed method integrates DSVM, which divides a single sample period into N equal intervals and generates virtual vectors to reduce stator current ripple. It achieves the minimum cost-function value across the entire operating range of the induction-motor (IM) drive by selecting the optimal vector from a limited set of permissible voltage vectors. Using DSVM effectively reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) without any detrimental effects during transients or steady states. Experimental studies validate the effectiveness and superiority of the suggested technique over the Finite-Control-Set (FCS) MFPCC, which only considers real voltage vectors in its computations.

This work studied the static magnetic pull of a modular spoke-type permanent magnet motor (MSTPMM) with no rotor eccentricity during the motor’s final assembly process and its dynamic magnetic pull during different motor operating states. A new final assembly scheme was proposed to significantly reduce the static magnetic pull during the final assembly process of the motor. The methods required to reduce the unbalanced radial magnetic pull of the whole stator, which is caused by partial stator module operation, were also studied. Firstly, the structure of the MSTPMM was examined. The static magnetic pull that occurred with the implementation of the two motor final assembly methods was studied in order to prove the effectiveness of reducing the maximum static magnetic pull. Moreover, the maximum magnetic pull during the assembly process was also observed. Then, the dynamic magnetic pull was studied with different motor operating states: no load, on load, and partial stator module operation. To solve the unbalanced radial magnetic pull of the whole stator, which is caused by partial stator module operation, methods of changing the angle between the stator current vector and the q axis (Ψ) or the d axis current (id) were also studied.

This paper presents a novel means of sensorless drive of the winding segmented permanent magnet linear motor (WS-PMLM). In order to solve the problem of the deviation of the position and speed estimation of the mover caused by the sharp changes of the inductance, flux linkage, and back electromotive force (EMF) between the segments of the WS-PMLM, a method for position estimation by the compound back-EMF is proposed to eliminate the blind spot of intersegment position estimation. In terms of speed estimation, a full-order speed observer method based on the dynamics equation is proposed, the configuration of the feedback gain of the observer is analyzed, and a simulation is used to verify that the full-order state observer (FSO) method can effectively reduce the estimated speed fluctuation in the intersegment region and that the speed estimation accuracy is ultimately improved.
