Sequential Model Predictive Control of Stand-Alone Voltage Source Inverters

To avoid the time-consuming weighting-factor tuning work in conventional finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC), a sequential model predictive control (SMPC) scheme for stand-alone voltage source inverters of an islanded ac microgrid is proposed in this paper. The main idea is that two cost functions for separately minimizing the capacitor voltage and the inductor current tracking errors of the $LC$ filter are deployed in a sequential structure instead of being integrated into a single cost function. As a result, the weighting factor for balancing the two control objectives is eliminated. Moreover, the proposed SMPC does not degrade the output-voltage control performance too much. Simulation results are provided, verifying the effectiveness of the presented approach.
