Despite its advantages, the LCL filter can significantly distort the grid current and constitute a substantially more complex control issue for the grid-connected distributed generators (DGs). This paper presents an active damping approach to deal with the LCL filter's oscillation for the finite-control-set model predictive control (FCS-MPC)-three-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs)-based DG. The new approaches use the multivariable control of the inverter side's filter current and capacitor voltage to suppress the LCL filter resonance. The proposed method has been tested in steady-state and under grid voltage disturbances. The comparative study was also conducted with the existing virtual resistance active damping approaches for an FCS-MPC algorithm. The study validates the developed control schemes' superior performance and shows its ability to eliminate lower-order grid current harmonics and decrease sensitivity to grid voltage distortion.

Finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) methods in different power electronic applications are gaining considerable attention due to their simplicity and fast dynamics. This paper introduces an assessment of the two-level three-phase voltage source converter (2L-VSC) utilizing different MPC schemes with and without a modulation stage. In order to perform such a comparative evaluation, 2L-VSC efficiency and total harmonics distortion of the voltage (THDv) have been investigated, when considering a linear load. The results demonstrate the performance of different MPC algorithms through an experimental verification on a Danfoss converter, and a set of analyses have been studied using the PLECS and MATLAB/SIMULINK together. It can be concluded that a comparable performance is achieved by using conventional MPC (CMPC), improved MPC (IMPC), periodic MPC (PMPC), and MPC scheme with modulator (M 2 PC) controllers. The assessment is critical to classify the strategies as mentioned earlier according to their efficiency. Furthermore, it gives a thorough point of view on which algorithm is suitable for the grid-forming applications.
