Abstract: A new model predictive torque control(MPTC) algorithm is proposed for the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM). A single optimal voltage space vector(VSV) is applied with a two-level voltage source inverter in the conventional MPTC, which causes high torque and flux ripples. In the proposed scheme, the back electromotive force(EMF) is estimated from the previous stator voltage and current, and it is used to predict the stator current for the next period. Firstly, the appropriate optimal VSVs are obtained based on the current track circle without predicting all VSVs to reduce the calculated complexity. Secondly, optimize duty cycle to further reduce torque and flux ripples. Finally, the conventional MPTC and the proposed MPTC are compared in the aspects of torque, flux ripples and current harmonics by the simulation and experiment. Results prove that the proposed MPTC has obvious advantages in reducing torque flux fluctuation and current total harmonic distortion. This method is suitable for the PMSM used in electric vehicles which need to face a variety of complex road conditions.
