Abstract

This paper proposes the Finite control set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) with delay compensation for three-phase threelevel T-Type NPC inverter (T-Type NPC) of grid-connected photovoltaic systems (PV). The proposed FCS-MPC controls the objectives: current tracking control, DC-link capacitor voltage balance, the reduction of switching frequency to ensure issues of the power quality and improve the efficiency of grid-connected of PV system. The cost function of the proposed FCS-MPC uses the 27 possible switching states generated by TType NPC, the optimal switching state is selected in each sampling time that minimizes the cost function. The proposed FCS-MPC has also proposed the delay compensation with two-step prediction horizon at time k+2 to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the grid current. The proposed FCS-MPC is verified by using Matlab/Simulink.
