8.6 Summary

The application of MPC for the control of induction machines is presented in this chapter. Two types of control schemes are presented, based on the ideas of field-oriented control and direct torque control.

Field-oriented control is implemented by replacing the current controllers and modulator with a predictive current controller. This strategy is presented for a three-phase inverter and for a matrix converter. Good performance of the system is obtained due to the fast dynamic response of the predictive current control.

Predictive torque control achieves high-performance results which are totally comparable to the traditional approaches. This control strategy is presented for a three-phase inverter and for a matrix converter. As can be seen in this chapter, the control scheme remains the same and few changes are needed in order to implement it in a complex converter like the matrix converter.
