Abstract

The object of this research project is to analyze the topologies, the control--particularly the predictive-control-, and modeling multiphase Motors related to performance criteria, such as energy efficiency, reducing hardware costs and improvement of dynamic performance of the controllers applied to motion control by means of electric motors. With a focus on hexafásicos motors, aims to study the different methods of inverter control, as well as the different approaches for the control system, from the research conducted by Electrical Drives Lab of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology of the Technical University of Munich. The acquired knowledge should catalyze research projects undertaken by the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering- Unicamp and provide the update to the disciplines that involve the electrical drives.
