Abstract

Model Predictive Control (MPC) Algorithms have been very popular and used widely in industrial applications of power converters and drives. Major advantage of MPC is the flexibility to control different variables, with constraints and additional system requirements. Also, it has been an alternative to the classical control techniques without need of additional modulation techniques, MPC needs the proper system model in order to calculate optimum values of the controlled variables. This paper gives an introduction about the Model Predictive Current Algorithm. Model Predictive Current Control Algorithm is implemented for a two phase three level drive system. After the system is modelled, the control algorithm is verified for different load condition of an induction machine.
