Multiphase (more than three phases) drives exhibit interesting advantages over
conventional three-phase drives. Over the last years, topics related to the extension of
control schemes to these specific drives have been covered in depth in the literature. Direct
torque control and predictive current control are normally used in conventional ac drives
when fast electrical dynamic performance is required. In this paper, a one-step modulation
predictive current control technique is proposed for asymmetrical dual three-phase ac …

The interest in multiphase drives has re-emerged in the last decade, being the asymmetrical
dual three-phase induction motor drive one of the most popular options. Predictive control
techniques have been recently implemented in these multiphase drives. Proposed schemes
have demonstrated high performance at the expenses of high computational cost, unknown
switching frequency and the appearance of large undesirable stator current harmonic
components. In this paper, an enhanced predictive current control technique (ePCC) with …
