Model Predictive Control of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

Abstract

This paper describes the application of Model Predictive Control (MPC) to speed control of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The MPC design is based on a linearized state space representation of the nonlinear PMSM model. Hildreth's procedure is employed to solve the quadratic programming problem for the input voltage constraints online and supporting experimental results are also given.
