A new controlling method of three level inverters is proposed in this paper. Three-level T inverters are widely used in industry for high-power, medium-voltage power conversion and drives. Topics related to power losses due to commutation and quality of the output current is relevant issues in this power range. The neutral-point balancing problem in this topology is another subject that has been studied in recent years. Among the most common control methods for this converter, the literature states are non linear techniques, like hysteresis control, and linear methods, like the use of PI controllers in conjunction with pulse width modulation. The general predictive control scheme is applied here to the inverter. The behavior of the system is predicted for each possible switching state of this kind of inverter. The switching state that minimizes a given cost function is selected to be applied during the next sampling interval following the same strategy.

Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) are commonly used in direct-drive wind power generation systems, which produce high efficiency, high reliability and low cost in wind power generation. This paper presents a new and simple control scheme using predictive control, which is used in PMSGs and grid-connected inverters. The controller uses the models of PMSGs and grid-connected inverters to predict on each sampling interval. A cost function defines the desired behavior of the system. The switching state that minimizes the cost function is selected and applied during the next sampling interval. At any wind speed within the operating range, the PMSG rotor speed can optimally controlled to extract maximum wind power. The simulated results show that the proposed control scheme can provide the direct-drive wind power generation system with the maximum efficiency and high dynamic performance.

The levitation control system is a key technique of the maglev system. Due to the strong non-linear character of the magnetic force, as well as the model uncertainties and external interferences of the maglev system, the Implicit General Predictive Control algorithm, which adjusts the parameters of the control scheme by using the input and output data, is adopted in this article. Taking the single electro-magnet levitation system as the research object, this algorithm not only guarantees the stability of the system, but also suppresses the vibration caused by the flexibility of the track. The advantages of this algorithm include: the superior control capacity, roll over optimization and little dependence on model. The simulation approves the validity of this method.

In this paper, the power quality of interconnected microgrids is managed using a Model Predictive Control (MPC) methodology which manipulates the power converters of the microgrids in order to achieve the requirements. The control algorithm is developed for the microgrids working modes: grid-connected, islanded and interconnected. The results and simulations are also applied to the transition between the different working modes. In order to show the potential of the control algorithm, a comparison study is carried out with classical Proportional-Integral Pulse Width Modulation (PI-PWM) based controllers. The proposed control algorithm not only improves the transient response in comparison with classical methods but also shows an optimal behavior in all the working modes, minimizing the harmonics content in current and voltage even with the presence of non-balanced and non-harmonic-free three-phase voltage and current systems

In order to optimize the electric energy quality of HVDC access point, a modular multilevel selective harmonic elimination pulse-width modulation (MSHE-PWM) method is proposed. On the basis of keeping the minimum action frequency of the power device, MSHE-PWM method can meet the requirement for accurately eliminating low-order harmonics in the output PWM waveform. Firstly, establish the basic mathematical model of MMC topology and point out the voltage balance control principle of single modules; then, analyze offline gaining principle and realization way of MSHEPWM switching angle; finally, verify MSHE-PWM control performance on the basis of MMC reactive power compensation experimental prototype. The experimental result shows that the proposed MSHE-PWM method can meet such performance indexes as low switching frequency and no lower-order harmonics, and has verified the feasibility and effectiveness thereof for optimizing the electric energy quality of HVDC access point.

An improved control strategy for three-phase grid-connected inverters with space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) is proposed. When the grid current contains harmonics, the d-and q-axes grid currents is interacted in the traditional control method, and the waveform quality of the grid current is poor. As the reference output voltage cannot directly reflect the change of the reference grid current with the traditional control strategy, the dynamic response of the grid-connected inverter is slow. In order to solve the aforementioned problems, the d-and q-axes grid currents in the decoupled components of the grid current controller are substituted by the d-and q-axes reference grid currents, respectively. The operating principles of the traditional and proposed control methods are illustrated. Experimental results show that the grid-connected inverter with the improved control strategy has high waveform quality of the grid current and fast dynamic response.

—This The Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) DC-to-AC inverter has been widely used in many applications due to its circuit simplicity and rugged control scheme. It is however driven by a hard-switching pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter, which has low switching frequency, high switching loss, high electro-magnetic interference (EMI), high acoustic noise and low efficiency, etc. To solve these problems of the hard-switching inverter, many soft-switching inverters have been designed in the past. Unfortunately, high device voltage stress, large dc link voltage ripples, complex control scheme and so on are noticed in the existing soft-switching inverters. This proposed work overcomes the above problems with simple circuit topology and all switches work in zero-voltage switching condition. Comparative analysis between conventional open loop, PI and fuzzy logic based soft switching inverter is also presented and discussed. Keywords—Zero voltage switching, Inverter, Dc link, PI controller, Fuzzy logic system control ,Modulation strategy, Soft switching
