Continuous Control Set Nonlinear Model Predictive Control of Reluctance Synchronous Machines

In this article, we describe the design and implementation of a current controller for a reluctance synchronous machine (RSM) based on continuous control set nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). A computationally efficient gray box model of the flux linkage map, the Gaussian-linear-arctangent (GLA) model, is proposed and employed in a tracking formulation, which is implemented using the high...
