Finite Control Set Model Predictive Direct Power Control of Single-Phase Three-Level PWM Rectifier Based on Satisfactory Optimization

In this paper, a finite control set model predictive direct power control (FCS-MPDPC) method based on satisfactory optimization, for single-phase three-level PWM rectifier, is proposed to achieve global optimization that takes into account all its objectives and constraints. Satisfaction optimization aims to obtain the satisfactory solution after coordination of multiple goals, instead of the optimal solution of a single goal. By replacing “optimal” with “satisfaction”, more control degrees of freedom are acquired, so that low-priority auxiliary control objectives can participate in the optimization process. Meanwhile, in order to enhance the description accuracy of FCS-MPDPC method for the future trend of PWM rectifier, the prediction time domain is extended from the traditional single-step to multi-step, and the average switching frequency model is established to realize the low switching frequency control. The satisfactory optimized FCS-MPDPC method proposed in this paper is compared, through simulation and experimental results, with the standard FCS-MPDPC method, which verifies the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm.
