Abstract

This paper presents a predictive control for multi-level inverter drive induction motor. Implementations of the control algorithm as well as, the multi-level inverter are presented. Also, the system is simulated and the speed, voltage, and current of an induction motor under normal and up-normal performance are obtained. The system is tested under a wide range of reference speed changes as well as different load conditions. Several simulation results using Matlab simulink software show the validity of the predictive control and multi level inverter scheme.
