Quasi-Z-Source Four-Leg Inverter with PV by using Model Predictive Control Scheme
The Implementation of Quasi-Z-Source Four-Leg Inverter with PV by using Model Predictive Control Scheme is proposed in this paper. In order to reduce the drawbacks of traditional three phase voltage source inverter (VSI). Photovoltaic (PV) is a term which converts the light into electricity. This topology features a wide range of voltage gain which is suitable for applications in renewable energy-based power systems, where the output of the renewable energy sources varies widely with operating conditions such as wind speed, solar irradiation and temperature. To improve the capability of the controller, an MPC scheme is used which implements a discrete-time model of the system. The controller handles each phase current independently, which adds flexibility to the system. The performance of quasi z source three-phase four-leg VSI with PV by using model predictive control (MPC) was simulated using MATLAB Simulink under balanced and unbalanced load conditions as well as single-phase open-circuit fault condition.
