This two-part paper presents a review of the predictive control techniques applied in switched reluctance machine (SRM) drives. The objective is to promote the applications of predictive control-based strategies in these machines, given its potential to develop high-performance operation and make SRM more suitable for practical scenarios. Part I of this survey presents all fundamental concepts of SRM drives, predictive control and the adopted classification, and a literature review of predictive current control (PCC) strategies. The control techniques are analyzed according to their modelling approach, switching behaviour and calculation of optimal input. A performance comparison is also presented, and the current challenges, improvement opportunities and future trends of PCC in SRM are discussed.
