This paper proposes the simplified model

predictive current control (MPCC) of a mono-inverter dual

parallel (MIDP) permanent magnet synchronous motors

(PMSMs). In the proposed MPCC method, one of the two

parallel PMSMs is selected as the master PMSM to be object of

control. The output torque of the slave PMSM is controlled with

the master PMSM by utilizing the current relationship between

the two motors. The application of the MPCC is operated

through the d-axis current of the master PMSM. The candidate

voltage vectors are generated within a segmented voltage vector

plane for the reduction of computational burden and

improvement of torque quality. To reduce the torque ripple, the

voltage vectors applied to the inverter are conclusively

determined using discrete space vector modulation (DSVM).

The validity of the proposed method is verified through

simulation results.
