Model predictive control of a dual output seven-level rectifier

In this paper, a component efficient multilevel rectifier is modeled and controlled using Model Predictive Control (MPC) technique. The recently introduced Capacitor Tied Switches (CTS) converter structure features two distinct dc-load terminals which can operate at different voltage levels while experiencing high voltage levels at the ac-side terminals. The CTS converter structure inherits attractive features from the efficiency and power quality perspectives, with excellent topology performance which was validated through different simulation scenarios.
