    Finite-Set Quasi-Sliding Mode Predictive Control of LC-Filtered Voltage Source Inverters
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022-12-01) Zheng, Changming; Gong, Zheng; Wu, Xiaojie; Dragicevic, Tomislav; Rodriguez, Jose; Blaabjerg, Frede
    Three-phase voltage source inverters (VSIs) with output LC filter are preferred topologies to provide voltage and frequency support for islanded ac microgrids. This article proposes a finite-set quasi-sliding model predictive control (FS-QSMPC) scheme for LC-filtered VSIs to improve the output-voltage quality. By explicitly including a predictive sliding-mode function into the cost function, reduced steady-state ripple and enhanced robustness are achieved compared to typical FS-MPC. Besides, theoretical analysis of stability and robustness for FS-QSMPC is given. Analytical tuning of the weighting factor is also derived to decrease the tuning effort. Comparative simulations and experiments verify the presented approach. © 1982-2012 IEEE.

    Fundamental Circuit Topology of Duo-Active-Neutral-Point-Clamped, Duo-Neutral-Point-Clamped, and Duo-Neutral-Point-Piloted Multilevel Converters

    Multilevel voltage-source converters are well-suited for power conversion applications demanding higher power density, reliability, efficiency, and power quality. An unremitting and persistent research for developing advanced multilevel converter topologies with improved characteristics, performance, modulation techniques, and control methods continues. This paper proposes duo-neutral-point-clamped (D-NPC), duo-active-neutral-point-clamped (D-ANPC), and duo-neutral-point-piloted (D-NPP) multilevel voltage-sourced converter topologies. The D-NPC, D-ANPC, and D-NPP converters phase-leg is realized by adding low-frequency semiconductor power switches to their structures. This results in a substantial reduction in the number of the high-frequency pulsewidth-modulation insulated-gate bipolar transistors and clamping passive devices including diodes as well as flying-capacitors (FCs). Moreover, a drastic abatement in the total voltage rating and total stored energy of the FCs within the D-ANPC topology is achieved compared to the classic ANPC configuration. The experimental results are provided for D-NPC, D-ANPC, and D-NPP converters to validate the feasibility of their topology and modulation method for control of the multilevel converters. © 2013 IEEE.

    The application of model predictive control in electrical drives has been studied extensively in the past decade. This article presents what the authors consider the most relevant contributions published in the last years, mainly focusing on three relevant issues: weighting factor calculation when multiple objectives are utilized in the cost function, current/torque harmonic distortion optimization when the power converter switching frequency is reduced, and robustness improvement under parameters uncertainties. Therefore, this article aims to enable readers to have a more precise overview while facilitating their future research work in this exciting area.

    Model Predictive Control of LC-Filtered Voltage Source Inverters with Optimal Switching Sequence
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021-03) Zheng, Changming; Dragicevic, Tomislav; Zhang, Zhenbin; Rodriguez, Jose; Blaabjerg, Frede
    Voltage source inverters with output LC filter enable a sinusoidal output voltage with low harmonics, suitable for islanded ac microgrid or uninterruptible power supply applications. Conventional finite-set model predictive voltage control (MPVC) applies only a single switching vector per control period, leading to a variable switching frequency and significant output ripple. This article resolves these issues by proposing an improved MPVC with optimal switching sequence (OSS-MPVC). First, an improved vector switching sequence is defined, aiming to reduce the output-voltage ripple with a constant switching frequency. Then, to tackle the difficulty in extending the OSS to high-order systems due to the coupling effect of the output filter, a generalized 'one-step estimation' solution is proposed, which directly associates the control-variable gradients with the vector switching sequence. To further enhance the output-voltage tracking accuracy, intersample dynamics are taken into account in the cost function. The control delay and dead-time compensation are also considered. Simulations and experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

    Optimal Cost Function Parameter Design in Predictive Torque Control (PTC) Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021-08) Novak, Mateja; Xie, Haotian; Dragicevic, Tomislav; Wang, Fengxiang; Rodriguez, Jose; Blaabjerg, Frede
    The use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) for the selection of weighting factors in cost function of the finite-set model-predictive control (FS-MPC) algorithm can speed up selection without imposing additional computational burden to the algorithm and ensure that optimum weights are selected for the specific application. In this article, the ANN-based design process of the weighting factors is used for predictive torque control (PTC) in a motor drive. In the design process, the weighting factors in the cost function and the reference flux value are obtained using different fitness functions. The results show that different operating conditions of the drive will have new optimum parameters of the cost function; therefore, sweeping parameters like load torque or reference speed can optimize the PTC for the whole operating range of the drive. A good match of the performance metrics predicted by the ANN and the simulation model is also observed. The experiments demonstrate that the selected cost function parameters can provide a fast drive start and good performance during different loading conditions and also in reversing of the drive.
