Nonlinear FCS-MPC strategy of NPC/H-5 L inverter based on satisfactory optimization algorithm

摘要

In the design of the cost function in the nonlinear finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) system, the traditional method based on weighting factors demonstrates some limitations, such as the weighting factors adjusting and heavy predictive calculation due to the increased number of voltage vectors applied in controlling multilevel converters. This paper proposes a simplified FCS-MPC method based on common mode voltage satisfactory optimization, which could considerably reduce the predictive calculation by the optimized switch combination and simplify the cost function design. Moreover, satisfactory optimization is adopted to achieve the accuracy control of common-mode voltage amplitude without adjusting process of weighting factors. The simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of this control strategy. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
