Finite set model predictive speed control of induction motor with long horizon

This paper presents predictive speed control of induction motor. The structure with finite control set and long prediction horizon is proposed. In methods with finite set of solutions there is assumed the use of signals that can be obtained in inverter only. Long prediction horizons allow better performance of predictive control structures to be achieved. In this case, long prediction horizon refers to systems with more than one prediction step. The weighting factors determine the properties of control structure via an optimization method using genetic algorithms. The results of simulation studies has been presented.
