Performance Improvement Of Induction Motor Drives With Model-Based Predictive Torque Control, Fati̇h Korkmaz Jan 2020

Performance Improvement Of Induction Motor Drives With Model-Based Predictive Torque Control, Fati̇h Korkmaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the most important advantages of using modeling and simulation software in design and control engineering is the ability to predict system behavior within specified conditions. This paper presents a novel error vector-based control algorithm that aims to reduce torque ripples predicting flux and torque errors in a conventional vector-controlled induction motor. For this purpose, a new control model has been developed that envisages flux change by applying probabilistic space vectors' torque and flux control. In the proposed predictive control algorithm, flux and torque errors are calculated for each candidate voltage vector. Thus, the optimal output voltage vector that …


Simplified Model Predictive Current Control Of Non-Sinusoidal Low Power Brushlessdc Machines, Alireza Lahooti Eshkevari, Hossein Torkaman Jan 2020

Simplified Model Predictive Current Control Of Non-Sinusoidal Low Power Brushlessdc Machines, Alireza Lahooti Eshkevari, Hossein Torkaman

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Several strategies have been proposed to control nonsinusoidal brushless DC machines (BLDCMs). However, high electromagnetic torque ripple and current overshoots occur in commutation times, which are significant problems of those strategies such as for hysteresis current controllers. This paper proposes a model predictive strategy to solve the above issues. It is simple and straightforward. Moreover, it reduces the motor torque ripple significantly and improves the response rate of the control system to the load torque variation in comparison with the conventional technique. The torque varies smoothly, and the performance of the system at commutation time is improved by eliminating the …


Sensorless Second-Order Switching Surface For A Three-Level Boost Converter, Tarek Messikh, Nasrudin Abd Rahim, Saad Mekhilef Jan 2019

Sensorless Second-Order Switching Surface For A Three-Level Boost Converter, Tarek Messikh, Nasrudin Abd Rahim, Saad Mekhilef

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes a sensorless second-order switching surface to control a three-level boost converter (TLBC). A predictive current method is proposed to reduce the number of sensors in the normal second-order switching surface method. Based on a developed model of the TLBC, the current is estimated and a switching surface is formulated in the state-energy plane. Simulation and hardware tests are carried out to verify the viability and the effectiveness of the proposed control technique. Results obtained show a good performance of the converter in term of DC-bus balancing and fast dynamic response under sudden load change.


Predictive Control Of A Constrained Pressure And Level System, Erkan Kaplanoğlu, Taner Arsan, Hüseyi̇n Selçuk Varol Jan 2015

Predictive Control Of A Constrained Pressure And Level System, Erkan Kaplanoğlu, Taner Arsan, Hüseyi̇n Selçuk Varol

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The focus of this paper is the implementation of a constrained predictive control algorithm implemented in Multi-Parametric Toolbox (MPT), which is a free MATLAB toolbox for design, analysis, and implementation of controllers for constrained linear, nonlinear, and hybrid systems. In general, MPT is used for modeling systems offline. The novelty of this study is that real-time mode MPT is used in process control. We also combined the Model Predictive Control Toolbox with MPT. This novel controller is considered a real-time controller of level-pressure systems. In this study, a special type of model predictive control algorithm, the constrained continuous-time generalized control, …
