Model Reference Adaptive Predictive Current Control of Six-Phase Induction Machine

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Predictive stator current control (PSCC) is a flexible technique that has been the subject of research in connection with multiphase drives. The flexibility that the cost function (CF) brings finds an obstacle in CF tuning. Intensive trial and error tests are usual in this context. In this article, an adaptive procedure is proposed based on the concept of model reference adaptive control. Unlike previous methods, the proposal provides on-line tuning of PSCC with very little burden. The proposal is motivated by the idea of using optimal weighting factors (WFs) for each operating point. A case study is developed for a six-phase induction machine. The adaptive method includes cross terms and momentum to cope with irregularities in the derivatives with respect to the WF. It is shown that adaptiveness allows crossing the Pareto front of performance indicators. This provides flexibility without optimality loss. The proposal is assessed with real experimentation on a laboratory set-up.
