Popis: In this article a control strategy for an induction machine (IM) based electric variable transmission (EVT) for hybrid electrical vehicles (HEV) is presented. Such electrical machines consists out of two rotors resulting in a power split and a decoupling of the internal combustion engine (ICE) speed and wheel speed. The proposed control method relies on a finite-set model based predictive control (FS-MBPC) algorithm to steer the torque of both rotors as well as the flux level within the machine. The advantage of this controller is the inherent feature of field weakening and strong reduction of Joule losses as a result of the optimisation routines within this controller using a cost function. As the focus of this paper is on the control method, simulation runs in Matlab/Simulink are performed to asses the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control method.
