Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control of a Nine Switch Dual Output Converter as a Power Quality Conditioner

This paper presents a nine switch dual output (NSDO) converter topology as a power quality conditioner, using a finite control set - model predictive control (FCS-MPC) algorithm. A mathematical model is developed for the NSDO converter and is used in the FCS-MPC algorithm. The algorithm enables the NSDO converter to enhance the power quality of the grid, power control, and the DC-link voltage regulation. The performance of the model is validated through MATLAB simulations using non-linear and unbalanced linear loads. The simulation results show that the harmonics in the grid currents are well mitigated, and the DC-link voltage is regulated during severe load conditions. Moreover, the quality of grid currents agrees with the IEEE-519 standard.
