Predictive Control of Power Converters: Designs With Guaranteed Performance

In this work, a cost function design based on Lyapunov stability concepts for finite control set model predictive control is proposed. This predictive controller design allows one to characterize the performance of the controlled converter, while providing sufficient conditions for local stability for a class of power converters. Simulation and experimental results on a buck dc-dc converter and a two-level dc-ac inverter are conducted to validate the effectiveness of our proposal.
