Due to the greater complexity of controlling six-phase machines and the fast dynamics required in safety-critical applications, finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) emerged as an ideal candidate for the control of six-phase machines. However, most of the available FCS-MPC strategies only apply to six-phase machines where the two sets of three-phase windings are star-connected with isolated neutral points (2N). Nevertheless, the 2N configuration does not take full advantage of the machine\u2019s capabilities in terms of fault tolerance. Hence, this paper proposes a predictive current control strategy based on virtual vectors for six-phase permanent magnet synchronous (PMSM) drives with a single isolated neutral point (1N) configuration. The proposed method reduces the current harmonic distortion, decreases the copper losses, and is suitable to operate the six-phase drive in fault-tolerant conditions. The included simulation and experimental results demonstrate the good performance obtained with the proposed strategy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/machines10121152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,2]],"date-time":"2022-12-02T01:44:46Z","timestamp":1669945486000},"page":"1152","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Fault-Tolerant Predictive Current Control of Six-Phase PMSMs with a Single Isolated Neutral Configuration"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3663-8623","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pedro","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McMaster Automotive Resource Centre (MARC), McMaster University, Hamilton, ON L8S 4L8, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9651-8925","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00e9rgio","family":"Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, University of Coimbra, P\u00f3lo 2-Pinhal de Marrocos, P-3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7529-5670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Instituto de Telecomunica\u00e7\u00f5es, University of Coimbra, P\u00f3lo 2-Pinhal de Marrocos, P-3030-290 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1109\/TPEL.2022.3202929","article-title":"Fault-Tolerant Current Control of Six-Phase Permanent Magnet Motor With Multifrequency Quasi-Proportional-Resonant Control and Feedforward Compensation for Aerospace Drives","volume":"38","author":"Xu","year":"2023","journal-title":"IEEE Trans Power Electron."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1592","DOI":"10.1109\/TTE.2020.2997609","article-title":"Multiphase PMSM with asymmetric windings for more electric aircraft","volume":"6","author":"Zhao","year":"2020","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
