This paper proposes the finite control set applied to the current control of an interleaved boost converter of photovoltaic systems. The proposed controller select the state of the converter semiconductor by using the predicted behavior of the converter and the minimization of a cost function. Hence, the controller guarantees that the current reference is reached. The current reference is computed...
Model mismatch from parameter uncertainties and disturbance is a challenge of controller design for DC-DC boost converters. To deal with this problem, a composite cascade adaptive controller is proposed in this paper. The outer loop is a PI controller combined with a feedforward compensator to generate the current signal from the output voltage reference and the inner loop is a finite horizon Model...

Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) has great application prospects for the flexible HVDC transmission, high-power motor drive and so on. In this paper, a discrete-time model of the MMC based on the virtual ergodic method is proposed for the typical MMC topology. First, the MMC topology is analyzed and its continuous-time model is established. Then, the state equation in the continuous-time model is...
Input current of a Current Fed Switched Inverter (CFSI) contains the switching frequency component (75 kHz) and a second harmonic component of line frequency (100 Hz) apart from the DC part. In prior designs, the second harmonic component was suppressed by increasing the size of passive components (inductor or capacitor), which makes the inverter implementation bulky. This paper presents a control...
Modular multilevel converters (MMC) have many advantages owing to their power-stage modularity. However, this modularity does not extend directly to the control. Particularly, the balancing control usually requires central coordination and increases in complexity with the system size. This paper presents a balancing control method for a more general modular multilevel converter with series and parallel...
This paper presents an indirect model predictive control to develop a direct power regulator for a modular multilevel converter connected to a high voltage direct current bus line, where the main task is to bidirectionally transfer active power to the grid and simultaneously compensate reactive power. The main advantage, of the proposed dynamic matrix control methodology, is to capture the system...
Solar PV simulators are commonly used to test and evaluate solar power conditioning systems. One of the main challenges remaining for switching mode PV simulator is its dynamic response time during transients. In existing switching mode PV simulator methods, the power conversion stage responds according to the controller loop, hence, dynamic response time is limited by output filter dynamics. This...
This paper presents a simplified direct modulation prediction approach for modular multilevel converters (MMC). By using the Euler approximation, the grid-side and circulating currents are firstly predicted to obtain the values in the next switching cycle. Then the modulations are directly calculated based on the established mathematical models for the six-arms of MMC. Subsequently, the capacitor...
This paper proposes the improved topology and control strategy of three-phase cascaded bridgeless rectifier (CBR) suitable to serve as the rectifier stage for a medium/high voltage multilevel converter. Compared with traditional H-bridge based multilevel rectifiers, the proposed topology adopts much fewer fully-controlled devices, which greatly reduces the control complexity, thus increasing the system...
The modular multilevel converter (MMC) is considered among the top choices for very high-power applications due to its superior features. To operate with good performance, effective control and modulation techniques are required to suppress the detrimental effects, including the circulating current and the capacitor voltage ripples. This paper proposes an efficient variable nearest level control-model...
For the discussion about the neutral point potential (NPP) control of single phase three-level rectifiers, most of the methods solve the NPP problem by adjusting the zero-sequence voltage under symmetrical load conditions. However, when one phase voltage reaches to the maximum voltage, the other phase voltage goes to the minimal voltage. As a result, the NPP control ability is limited since there...

The Line Regulating Converters (LRCs) are based on DAB topology and the load side converters or Point of Load Converters (POLs) are based on buck topology. The tightly controlled POLs exhibit a constant power load (CPL) behaviour, which has a destabilising...

The method based on analytic models can be used when the system behavior is compared with the results of the mathematical model which reproduces the system in normal operation conditions. The paper applies the diagnosis method based on the analytic model by investigating the waveforms of the currents and voltages specific to a transport and distribution line when interruption fault occurs. For identifying...
