Facultad de Ingeniería AB The predictive current controller has arisen as a practicable technique for operating multiphase machines due to its fast dynamic response, control flexibility, and overall good performance. However, this type of controller has limitations, e.g., it tends to suffer from steady-state tracking errors in (𝑑−𝑞) currents; high computational burden; and high (𝑥−𝑦) currents, which become more pronounced at higher speeds, thereby worsening its sustainability. While some proposals have addressed these limitations by incorporating modulation stages and new cost functions, there is still room for improvement, particularly at higher speeds. In line with the pursuit of sustainable advancements, this article explores the integration of a field-weakening strategy with a modulated predictive current controller applied to a six-phase induction machine to improve its performance at current tracking for higher speed ranges. Experimental tests were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller, assessing stator current tracking, reduction in the (𝑥−𝑦) currents, and the total harmonic distortion.
