Abstract
Due to various applications of variable frequency drives in industry, design procedure and control methods of these converters have attracted many researchers from both industry and academia. In this paper, a high power density AC-DC-AC converter design is presented alongside finite control set model predictive control method. Using model predictive control for the LC filter at the load side enables load voltage control which is an important issue in variable frequency drive applications. Also, input, output, and DC link filters' design methods are presented and the results are compared to the designed filters in the literature. The comparison shows significant filter size decrease by using presented approach. Applying the proposed control method to the AC-DC-AC converter brings benefits such as simple implementation, robustness to the load changes, and fast dynamic response compared to conventional control methods. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design and control method, the designed variable frequency drive has been simulated and the results are presented.
