Implementation of Predictive Control in a Three-Phase Neutral Point Clamped Inverter

Abstract

In recent years, multilevel converters have established themselves as an efficient technology for the conversion of medium and high power. This research presents a NPC multilevel inverter topology, using two new control strategies: classical predictive control and fixed frequency predictive control. The results allow to verify the performance of each of the control strategies, which can be selected according to the application needs.
