Inverters are commonly controlled to generate AC current and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the core index in judging the control effect. In this paper, a THD oriented Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS MPC) scheme is proposed for the single-phase inverter, where a optimization problem is solved to obtain the switching law for realization. Different from the traditional cost function, which focuses on the instantaneous deviation of amplitude between predictive current and its reference, we redesign a cost function that is the linear combination of the current fundamental tracking error, instantaneous THD value and DC component in one fundamental cycle (for 50 Hz, it is 0.02 s). Iterative method is developed for rapid calculation of this cost function. By choosing a switching state from a FCS to minimize the cost function, a FCS MPC is finally constructed. Simulation results in Matlab/Simulink and experimental results on rapid control prototype platform show the effect of this method. Analyses illustrate that, by choosing suitable weight of the cost function, the performance of this THD oriented FCS MPC method is better than the traditional one.

This thesis proposes a new predictive control strategy to achieve fixed-switching frequency operation for a neutral-point clamped (NPC) inverter. The classical fixed-sampling frequency finite control-set model predictive control (FSF-FCS-MPC) operates with variable switching frequency, and thus produces spread-spectrum in an output current. The classical method also suffers from high computational complexity as the number of converter voltage levels increases. To overcome these issues, a high performance variable sampling frequency finite control-set model predictive control (VSF-FCS-MPC) strategy is proposed to control the power converters. The proposed control technique combines the advantages of space vector modulation (SVM) with a newly introduced mechanics to determine the appropriate sampling frequency. With these features the major requirements such as balancing of DC-link capacitor voltages, switching frequency minimization and common-mode voltage mitigation have been achieved with simultaneous elimination of even-order and inter-harmonics in the load current harmonic spectrum. The VSF-FCS-MPC strategy for current control with decoupled active/reactive power regulation of grid-connected multilevel converter was also analyzed. Moreover, a novel DC-link voltage balancing technique is presented which eliminates the need for balancing the capacitor voltages through cost function, and thus alleviates the weighting factor design. An introduction of SVM highly reduces the calculation time by considering only adjacent vectors, rendering FCS-MPC more suitable for implementation with multi-level converters with a number of voltage levels higher than three. Finally, the proposed control technique has been validated through simulation and experimental verification and a detailed comparison of VSF-FCS-MPC with FSF-FCS-MPC and SVM is presented

The Cost

This paper proposes the Finite control set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) with delay compensation for three-phase threelevel T-Type NPC inverter (T-Type NPC) of grid-connected photovoltaic systems (PV). The proposed FCS-MPC controls the objectives: current tracking control, DC-link capacitor voltage balance, the reduction of switching frequency to ensure issues of the power quality and improve the efficiency of grid-connected of PV system. The cost function of the proposed FCS-MPC uses the 27 possible switching states generated by TType NPC, the optimal switching state is selected in each sampling time that minimizes the cost function. The proposed FCS-MPC has also proposed the delay compensation with two-step prediction horizon at time k+2 to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid current. The proposed FCS-MPC is verified by using Matlab/Simulink.
