Abstract

Finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) methods in different power electronics application are gaining high attention due to their simplicity and fast dynamics. This paper introduces an experimental assessment of the two-level three-phase voltage source converter (2L-VSC) using two FCS-MPC algorithms. In order to perform such comparative evaluation, the 2L-VSC efficiency and total harmonics distortion voltage (THDv) have been measured where considering a linear load and non-linear load. The new algorithm gives better results than the conventional algorithm in terms of the THD and 2L-VSC efficiency. The results also demonstrate the performance of the system using carrier based pulse width modulation (CB-PWM). These findings have been validated for both linear and non-linear loads through experimental verification on 4 kW 2L-VSC prototype. It can be concluded that a comparable performance is achieved by using the conventional FCS-MPC, Improved FCS-MPC, and CB-PWM algorithms.
