Abstract:

Model predictive control (MPC) is one of the prevalent control techniques in controlling power converters. Especially, the finite control set MPC technique is used in controlling the power converters due to the fast dynamic response and excellent reference tracking capabilities. In addition, the control of multiple variables is essential for multilevel or complicated power converters. At this point, the MPC technique offers an effective solution with the multi-objective cost function that contains different control objectives. However, dealing with multiple objectives requires adjusting multiple weighting factors, which can be complicated at times. In addition, the computational burden is increasing depending on the complexity of the power converters.

Therefore, many researchers make an effort for reducing the computational burdens as well as eliminating the weighting factor, nowadays. In this webinar, the design procedure of the finite control set MPC method will be presented along with the selection or eliminating of the weighting factor and reducing the computational burdens.
