This paper presents a new speed Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) algorithm which has been applied to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) driven by a Matrix Converter (MC). This method replaces the classical cascaded control scheme with a single control law that controls the motor currents and speed. Additionally, unlike classical MC modulation methods, the method al...

This paper presents a comparison of two control strategies for 3-level 4-leg Shunt Active Power Filter (SAPF). The first method is based on hysteresis controllers. The second, proposed method is the Model Predictive Control (MPC) with a finite control-states set (FS) based on phase-to-phase model. The two methods are described and simulation results are presented and analyzed. Comparison is per...

In this paper we propose a new configuration of the wind farm connecting with an electrical grid. The proposed Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) is based on a two stages six-leg matrix converter using to drive a two Doubly Fed Induction Machines operating at different wind speeds. Each Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is controlled through the rotor currents using the Finite Set Model P...

This paper studies stability of Model Predictive Control for systems with a finite input alphabet. Since this kind of systems may present a steady-state error under closedloop control, the forms is on stability in the sense of ultimate boundedness of solutions. To derive sufficient conditions for stability, two different approaches are presented. The first one approximates the finite input alph...

Experience with infinite-horizon state-space model predictive control confirms that the algorithm offers several advantages over the more conventional finite-horizon step-response based model predictive control algorithms, particularly in the specification of sample time and handling a wide range of process time constants. Examples illustrate our use of state space based model predictive contro...

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are commonly used in the automation industry. With speedy development of digital system processors, predictive control as a modern scheme has been applied to improve dynamic performance and work efficiency PMSMs. This paper provides an overview research status PMSM-based strategies. The deficiencies three most popular schemes, deadbeat control, finite...
