Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has the characteristics of high voltage level and low switching frequency. The traditional modular multilevel converter circulating current control strategy mostly adopts PI principle, parameter setting is complicated accuracy not high, process more difficult. Model predictive optimal method based on model in existing time domain. This paper proposes a Predict...

This paper presents a grid connected photovoltaic system, which acts as both power generator and active power filter (APF), based on Flying Capacitor Multicell (FCM) converter. Increase in the number of output voltage levels, natural self-balancing of flying capacitors and dc link voltage and lower power rating of components are the main futures of FCM converter compared with conventional multi...

This paper presents a medium-voltage drive based on an open-end winding induction machine supplied by multilevel power converter topology. The consists of cascaded two-level three-phase voltage source inverters (VSI) connected to each side the windings and VSI is fed isolated DC supply. topology has been previously reported in literature as sinusoidal pulse-width modulation operating open loop....

A predictive current control strategy can realize flexible regulation of three-phase grid-tied converters based on system behaviour prediction and cost function minimization. However, when the predictive current control strategy with conventional switching patterns is adopted, the predicted duration time for voltage vectors turns out to be negative in some cases, especially under the conditions...

Brushless doubly fed reluctance generator (BDFRG) has been recently suggested as a wind generator. Different control methods are presented in literature for the BDFRG, but there is a gap on control under unbalanced grid voltage condition (UGVC). This paper presents a predictive direct power control (PDPC) method for the BDFRG under UGVC. The proposed PDPC method is based on power compensation s...
