Abstract
Conventional model-based predictive current control (MBPCC) suffers from common drawbacks of high reliance on system model parameters and the use of a single input voltage vector that result in large pulsating current ripples and prediction errors. In the case of a four-switch three-phase inverter (FSTPI) topology, the implementation of the predictive controller is exacerbated due to limited numbers of candidate voltage vectors. This paper presents an integrated model-free predictive current control with a hybrid switching mechanism to solve the problem. The proposed method introduces the combined switching mechanism of input voltage vectors with fixed and variable modulations by increasing the number of switching voltage vectors. The four basic voltage vectors generated in the four-switch three-phase inverter create twenty-four new synthesized voltage vectors through fourfold linear expansions of the space vector plane. The switching durations of input voltage vectors are determined by calculating their optimal duty ratios. As a result, the proposed method improved the prediction accuracy by increasing the iteration calculations of current differences every sampling period. The proposed method, known as the hybrid switching of four-voltage-vector model-free predictive current control (HS-4VV-MFPCC), is practically tested <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">via</i> simulation and experimental works to evaluate its effectiveness and performance improvement.
