A FCS-MPC of an induction motor fed by indirect matrix converter with unity power factor control

Abstract — A torque and flux FCS-MPC (Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control) of an induction motor with unity power factor fed by an indirect matrix converter has been investigated and presented in this paper. The proposed control scheme utilizes the discrete nature of power converter and predicts the future behavior of the system variables. Also the method selects the switching state that minimizes a cost function to actuate the converter in the next sampling time. The proposed FCS-MPC algorithm is validated through simulations and shows potential control and tracking of variables with their respective references.
