Abstract
Multiphase machines-based integrated onboard battery charging (IOBC) constitutes one of the future trends and the state-of-the-art technologies for high power chargers of electric vehicles. The six-phase based IOBCs represent the best compromise between system complexity and cost. The model predictive control (MPC) has recently been favored among the power electronics and control societies due to its simplicity in defining new control objectives and ease of handling non-linear constraints. In this thesis, the predictive current control (PCC) is applied to six-phase induction machinebased IOBC with three different winding configurations. from the grid perspective, the required winding connections that maximize the charging grid current have been introduced. Under PCC, different stator phases are controlled to draw balanced threephase line currents from the grid through controlling the current in the 𝒙𝒚 secondary subspace, while ensuring zero torque production. This study also discusses the effect of changing winding layouts on the mapping of the 64 available voltage vectors to the 𝜶𝜷, 𝒙𝒚, and 𝟎+𝟎− subspaces. The optimal subset voltage vectors of each configuration that achieve the highest possible DC-link utilization with no torque production, less THD, and unity power factor are then presented. The feasibility to employ the concept of virtual voltage vectors to improve the current quality is also investigated. The three different six-phase configurations are obtained from an externally reconfigured 1kW twelve-phase induction motor to experimentally validate the theoretical findings.
