This is due to the naturally high stiffness of the mechanical transmission, that leads to a hard-to-hard impact with the environment. This paper proposes a position-based impedance control using a Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) controller to solve this problem. In comparison to a standard impedance controller, it can achieve the same impedance behavior in steady state, but the reduction of the mechanical losses and of the compression of the transmission are better during the transient. Furthermore, the trade-off between the mechanical losses and the transient time can be modified easily by changing the weighting factors of a cost function.","PeriodicalId":271130,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Predictive Control of Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (PRECEDE)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131908880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each modulation is more suitable for a given range of load power level and has difficulties in working with a wide range of load power level. As these strategies are complementary and their combination can improve the DAB converter yield, in this paper, Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control is used to choose the best modulation strategy at the best moment in order to improve the efficiency of the DAB converter in real time. This choice will be made according to a cost function taking a trade-off of the current across the leakage inductance, the power error and the switching losses.","PeriodicalId":271130,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Predictive Control of Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (PRECEDE)","volume":"553 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127091438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Predictive Torque Control (PTC) has been developed to control induction motor drives, allowing high-performance and fast dynamics. However, the optimization used in PTC is based on a single cost function minimization, where control objectives are merged by using weighting factors. The adjustment of these factors is achieved through a nontrivial process and they are heavily dependent on the system parameters and user requirements, being a complex task in systems where two or three weighting factors must be adjusted. To avoid the well-known time-consuming simulations and branch and bound search process, a Multiobjective Fuzzy Predictive Torque Control (FPTC) is presented for a Three-Level Neutral-Point-Clamped voltage source inverter (3L-NPC). The proposed strategy changes the single cost function with a Multiobjective Optimization based on Fuzzy-Decision-Making.

This comparison is motivated by the fact that finite-control-set MPC is often regarded as having an inferior output waveform quality compared to PWM due to a variable switching frequency. In this paper, an oversampled FCS-MPC control scheme that achieves a fixed switching frequency through hard constraints is compared to an oversampled and well-tuned linear resonant regulator. It will be shown that by oversampling the predictive controller and forcing a fixed switching frequency scheme, the output waveform quality of FCS-MPC can produce results similar to that of a PWM-based controller. It will further be shown that the typical one-sample delay during reference step changes and the effects of model uncertainties such a DC bus ripple are greatly reduced if the predictive controller is sampled at a much higher rate than the switching frequency.","PeriodicalId":271130,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Symposium on Predictive Control of Electrical Drives and Power Electronics (PRECEDE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133591522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discrete-time model of load currents, load voltages, DC-link capacitors voltage and VSC terminal voltages is formulated in terms of four-leg converter switching states. A cost function is defined with the PCC scheme to minimize the error between reference and predicted load currents. Similarly, in PVC scheme, the cost function deals with the minimization of error between reference and predicted load voltages. The balancing of split DC-link capacitors voltage is considered with the three-level four-leg VSCs. The optimal switching states which minimize the cost function are chosen and applied to the four-leg VSC directly without involving linear regulators and modulation stage.
