Abstract
This article proposes an optimal scheme for an interior permanent-magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) in electric vehicle drive system using novel model predictive torque control (MPTC) algorithm. A single optimal voltage space vector (VSV) is applied with a two-level voltage source inverter in the conventional MPTC. An improved MPTC is presented to reduce the drawbacks with satisfied torque reaction performance without adding the sampling time. First, set switching table to alleviate the calculated complexity which decreasing the selection of the appropriate VSVs. Second, optimize the duty cycle to restrain the torque ripple. Finally, the conventional MPTC and the proposed MPTC are compared in the aspects of torque and flux ripples, current harmonics, and computational level in the experiment using dSPACE.
