Abstract: This paper presents a modulated model predictive control (M 2 PC) strategy for a nine-switch inverter (NSI) based electrification system to improve the steady-state performance. The model predictive control method has gained significant interest due to its straightforward structure. However, the traditional finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) imposes a high computational burden that is problematic in practical applications. This prevents reaching the high sampling frequencies due to an excessive increase in algorithm run-time. Selecting a low sampling frequency causes an unpleasant distortion in the control variable or poor power quality. An M 2 PC method for the NSI is proposed in this work to remove this trade-off. One zero vector and two active vectors are selected by evaluating a cost function for each allowed switching state of the NSI. The duty cycles of these vectors are calculated by assessing the cost function employing current error terms. An optimized sequence of these vectors is applied to the system that operates with the fixed-modulation frequency. Thus, an improvement in power quality (reduced harmonics with a better spectral content) with a lower sampling frequency is achieved. The computational burden rate (CBR) on the processor is reduced. These enhancements were proved by simulation and experimental studies. The comparison work was conducted to highlight the advantages of the proposed method over the other techniques reported in the literature. The proposed M 2 PC method was verified on a lab-scale NSI prototype driving two induction machines. The machine torques and speeds are well regulated, and the quality of the stator current is improved.
