However, the prediction in MPCC requires a high number of voltage vectors (VVs), being therefore computationally demanding. In that regard, this paper proposes a computationally efficient MPCC of an asymmetrical six-phase induction machine drive (ASIMD) that reduces the number of VVs used for prediction. By using the characteristics of the deadbeat control (DB), the proposed method obtains a reference voltage vector (RVV), where its position will serve as a reference and integrates the MPCC scheme. Only 4 out of 13 predictions are needed to determine the best VV, dramatically reducing the algorithm computation. Experimental results for a six-phase case study compare the standard MPCC with the suggested method, confirming that deadbeat model predictive current control (DB-MPCC) shows that the execution time can be shortened by 48.8% and successfully improve the motor performance and efficiency.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/machines9120306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]],"date-time":"2021-12-01T01:43:22Z","timestamp":1638323002000},"page":"306","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["A Computationally Efficient Model Predictive Control of Six-Phase Induction Machines Based on Deadbeat Control"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3717-1714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Serra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CISE\u2014Electromechatronic Systems Research Centre, University of Beira Interior, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, P-6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0294-1624","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Imed","family":"Jlassi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CISE\u2014Electromechatronic Systems Research Centre, University of Beira Interior, Cal\u00e7ada Fonte do Lameiro, P-6201-001 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8737-6999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio J.
