Abstract

The high-power grid-connected inverter (GCI) plays a key role in integrating wind power generation. The finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) has emerged as a promising high-performance control strategy for this class of power converters. However, practical stability assessment of GCI with MPC has not been fully addressed. This article investigates the stability of high-power GCI controlled by MPC and its application in offshore wind farm. The frequency scan technique is employed to derive the impedance characteristic of MPC-enabled inverter. Then, effects of MPC parameters and operating conditions on passivity are investigated. The proposed control strategy is validated and compared with classical PI-based control within Alpha Ventus offshore wind farm. Simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) verification are both implemented. The employed HiL setup integrates dSPACE DS1006 and …
