This study presents a novel Finite Control Set Model Predictive Current Control (FCS-MPCC) to reduce common mode voltage (CMV) in grid-connected inverters. The advanced method enhances inverter performance and durability by minimizing CMV and improving current tracking.
Area of Science:
- Electrical Engineering
- Power Electronics
- Control Systems
Background:
- Common Mode Voltage (CMV) in three-phase grid-connected inverters causes leakage currents, EMI, and system degradation.
- Existing control methods struggle to effectively suppress CMV while maintaining precise current control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate an advanced Finite Control Set Model Predictive Current Control (FCS-MPCC) strategy.
- To significantly reduce Common Mode Voltage (CMV) in three-phase grid-connected inverters.
- To enhance inverter current tracking accuracy and system durability.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of a predictive control model for inverter states.
- Design of a cost function balancing current tracking and CMV reduction.
- Real-time optimization of switching states based on a comprehensive CMV mathematical model.
Main Results:
- Substantial reduction in Common Mode Voltage (CMV) achieved.
- Significant improvements in current tracking accuracy demonstrated.
- Enhanced inverter performance and extended system lifespan validated.
Conclusions:
- The proposed FCS-MPCC effectively suppresses CMV in grid-connected inverters.
- This control strategy offers a superior alternative to conventional methods for improved system reliability.
- The research contributes to more robust and durable power electronic systems.
