Abstract:

This paper examines the enhancement of Electric Vehicle (EV) Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives through the integration of Field-Oriented Control (FOC) with Model Predictive Control (MPC). The study aims to achieve high precision and dynamic response for PMSM drives under diverse operating conditions. FOC provides good control capability over full torque and speed ranges. MPC is an optimal control technique in which the calculated control actions minimize a cost function for a constrained dynamic system. The theoretical framework combines FOC and MPC principles, utilizing MPC's predictive capabilities to optimize d-q current references in real-time. The methodology encompasses the design and implementation of an MPC technique integrated with FOC, with key objectives including minimising torque ripples, maintaining vehicle stability through robust control loops, and optimising PMSM drive performance across a wide speed range of EV. Different types of torque control methodologies, such as PI Controller and Voltage Vector Control for PMSM Control, can be applied to an electric vehicle. The results indicate significant improvements in torque ripple reduction, dynamic response, and disturbance rejection, demonstrating the robustness and adaptability of the proposed control system compared with the PI Controller. This approach effectively addresses key challenges and signifies advancements over traditional control methods, contributing to the field of electric vehicle control systems.
