Abstract

The finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) for grid-connected inverter requires ergodic optimization and there are unnecessary switching actions, resulting in large system computation and switching loss. In order to solve the problem of large system computation, a simplified model predictive control method for grid-connected inverter was proposed. Based on deadbeat control principle, this control method judges the sector position after obtaining the virtual reference voltage vector. Only one prediction and one sector judgment are required to select the optimal switching vector, which reduces the system computation while ensuring the current control accuracy. In order to solve the problem of large switching loss of the system, an event-triggered control method based on zero vector optimization for grid-connected inverter was introduced. This control method reduces the switching action times of switching devices at the peak current by eliminating redundant optimization operations, thus reducing the switching loss. In addition, the event-triggered control is triggered only when the error exceeds the set threshold, which eliminates redundant optimization operations and reduces the system computation, thus further improving the dynamic response speed of the system. Finally, the proposed low-loss simplified model predictive control method (S-MPC) was compared with the FCS-MPC method and the cost function optimization-MPC method respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed control method is effective.
