Popis: Multiphase machines offer some interesting features to develop more-competitive electric drives. However, the control complexity increases due to the higher number of freedom degrees. Specifically, the regulation of secondary currents becomes critical to avoid an unacceptable harmonic distortion of phase currents. In this regard, standard finite-control-set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) is characterized by a limited capability to provide a suitable current quality, since a single switching state is applied per control cycle. In order to reduce the current harmonic content and retain the well-known FCS-MPC advantages, the use of a multi-vector approach has been recently explored in the field of multiphase electric drives. Following this trend, this work develops a simplified FCS-MPC version with a new generation of virtual voltage vectors (VV) that are used as control actions. The switching states that form the proposed VV provide null average $x-y$ voltages and reduced instantaneous injection of these secondary components. The capability of the suggested VV-based FCS-MPC strategy to mitigate the $x$ – $y$ injection is experimentally tested and compared to field-oriented control (FOC) using carrier-based pulse width modulation (CB-PWM) and diverse FCS-MPC schemes.
