RT Journal Article T1 Speed sensorless predictive current control of a five-phase induction machine A1 González, Osvaldo A1 Rodas Benítez, Jorge Esteban A1 Gregor Recalde, Raúl Igmar A1 Ayala Silva, Magno Elías A1 Rivera, Marco A2 Universidad Nacional de Asunción - Facultad de Ingeniería A2 Universidad de Talca - Faculty of Engineering AB In power electronics, multiphase machines have been recently proposed, where most sensorless algorithms applied to electrical drives are represented through a mathematical representation of the physical system which includes the electrical and mechanical parameters of the motor. However, in electrical drive applications, the rotor current cannot be measured, so it must be estimated. This paper deals with the speed sensorless control of five-phase induction machines by using an inner loop of model-based predictive control (MPC). The MPC is obtained from the mathematical model of the machine, using a state-space representation where the two state variables are the stator and rotor currents, respectively. The rotor current is estimated using a reduced order optimal estimator based on a Kalman filter. Simulation results are provided to show the efficiency of the proposed sensorless speed control algorithm.
