Direct Mode l Predictive Control of Bidirectional

Quasi-Z-Source Inverters Fed PMSM Drives

Abstract:
This paperpresents a d irect model predictive control(MPC) strateg y to control the
bidirectional quasi-Z-sourceinv erter (BqZSI) driving a permanent magn et synchronous
machine(PMSM) for electric v ehicle applications. The dqmachinecurrents are simultaneously
controlled with the capacitor voltageand inductor current of the dc side. The physical model of
theBqZSI with PMSM is first derived which encompasses differentoperating mo des and states
of the BqZSI.
Existing method:
The existing method de scribesRegardless of the machine type, batteries are used as
themain source. By using voltage source inverters (VSIs), the dccurrent is co nverted to ac in
order to feed the EV machine. However, the dc-link voltage cannot be contr olled over awide
speed range. To solve this probl em, the flux weakeningtechnique is utilized in high speed which
results in lowerefficiency. To co ntrol the dc-link voltage, a dc-dc converteris c ombined with the
VSI. Although the additional converterincreases the traction system efficiency, it also increases
thecost and the controller compl exity
Proposed method:
The proposed method p roposes,an MPC strategy that controls bothsides of the BqZSI
connected with a PMSM for EV applications.The main control variable on the machine side is
themachine current, i.e. the d q currents should be regulated alongtheir reference values
(computed from an outer contro l loop).In addition, the dc-side variables, namely the capacitor
voltageand inductor current, should track their reference trajectoriesin order to adjust the dc-link
voltage to a desired level overa wide speed range. Moreover, the switching frequency isto be
controlled by penalizing the switching transitions.

Drawbacks of existing met hod:

1. Although the additionall converter increases the traction system efficiency, it also
increases the cost and the controller complexity.
Advantages of proposed m ethod:
1. An MPC strategy that co ntrols both sides of the BqZSI connected with a PMSM for
EV applications.
Applications:
Bidirectional quasi-Z-sourceinve rter (BqZSI) driving a permanent magnet synch ronous
machine (PMSM) for electric vehicle applications.
