The application of model predictive control in electri- cal drives has been studied extensively in the past decade. This arti- cle presents what the authors consider the most relevant contribu- tions published in the last years, mainly focusing on three relevant issues: weighting factor calculation when multiple objectives are utilized in the cost function, current/torque harmonic distortion optimization when the power converter switching frequency is reduced, and robustness improvement under parameters uncer- tainties. Therefore, this article aims to enable readers to have a more precise overview while facilitating their future research work in this exciting area.     «
