Design of a Predictive Controller for the Current Loop of the Tubular Linear Motor Using a Discrete Model

This article proposes a control strategy based on a Constrained Control Set Model Predictive Controller (CCS-MPC) to optimize the control signal while adhering to output limitations. A mathematical model of the tubular linear motor is introduced as the foundation for the controller design. The controller focuses on the internal control loop, which is directly affected by the converter's limitations. The performance of the proposed controller is validated through simulations in MATLAB/Simulink, demonstrating its effectiveness with a current response time of less than 200 µs.
