Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors are widely preferred in many areas due to the advantages they offer. On the other hand, the rapid development of direct model predictive control methods in controlling power converters and electric motor drives has reinforced the success of these control methods in these areas. This study compares four different direct model predictive control methods in the context of permanent magnet synchronous motor control. The main motivation of this study is the absence of research in the literature comparing these four methods and the fact that existing studies focus only on control performance. Unlike the existing comparisons, this study evaluates the selected methods not only in terms of control performance but also in terms of design complexity and computational burden. The comparisons are based on simulation studies, considering various operating conditions of electric drive systems, such as four-quadrant operation, speed variations under load, and load variations at constant speed. The results obtained demonstrate that all these direct model predictive control systems provide sufficient control performance under different operating conditions. However, performance metrics reveal differences among the methods.
