Model predictive control (MPC) has been proven to offer excellent model-based, highly dynamic control performance in grid converters. The increasingly higher power capacity of a PV inverter has led to the industrial preference of adopting higher DC voltage design at the PV array (e.g., 750–1500 V). With high array voltage, a single stage inverter offers advantages of low component count, simpler topology, and requiring less control tuning effort. However, it is typically entailed with the issue of high common-mode voltage (CMV). This work proposes a virtual-vector model predictive control method equipped with an improved common-mode reduction (CMR) space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM). The modulation technique essentially subdivides the hexagonal voltage vector space into 18 sub-sectors, that can be split into two groups with different CMV properties. The proposal indirectly increases the DC-bus utilization and extends the overall modulation region with improved CMV. The comparison with the virtual-vector MPC scheme equipped with the conventional SVPWM suggests that the proposed technique can effectively suppress 33.33% of the CMV, and reduce the CMV toggling frequency per fundamental cycle from 6 to either 0 or 2 (depending on which sub-sector group). It is believed that the proposed control technique can help to improve the performance of photovoltaic single-stage inverters.

Recently, the interest in model predictive control (MPC) and dual three-phase drives has been growing rapidly. Due to the high redundancy of voltage vector in the system composed of dual three-phase permanent magnetic synchronous motor (PMSM) and six-phase inverter, the computational complexity and current harmonics of MPC are high. In addition, the zero vector has been used by traditional MPC, which will cause higher common-mode voltage. In this paper, a novel MPC method with twice predictions and synthetic vectors is proposed which can not only suppress common-mode voltage, but also reduce computational complexity and current harmonics. The mathematical model of a dual three-phase PMSM are verified by the experimental results under the common-mode voltage suppression.

A model predictive control method to reduce the common-mode voltage (MPC-RCMV) with constant switching frequency for PMSM drives is proposed in this paper. Four nonzero VVs are adopted in future control period and the switching sequence is designed to ensure the switching frequency is fixed and equal to the control frequency. By substituting the finite-control nonzero voltage vectors in the current predictive model, a current predictive error space vector diagram is obtained to determine the adopted four VVs. The duty ratio calculating method for the selected four VVs is studied. Compared with the conventional MPC-RCMV method, the current and torque ripples are greatly reduced and the switching frequency is fixed. The simulation and experiment results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

It is acknowledged that the common-mode voltage may have detrimental effects on an induction motor (IM) drive system if not properly addressed. Therefore, in this paper, a modified multistep model predictive control method for IM drive system considering the common-mode voltage minimization is proposed. This research uses a multi-objective cost function, before applying the Sphere Decoding Algorithm to find the optimal control input. The results show that the proposed control method not only reduces the common-mode voltage significantly but also mitigates the computational burden of the microprocessor without affecting the system performance. The proposed control method is simulated by MATLAB-Simulink for an IM drive system with an 11-level cascaded H-bridge inverter.
