Finite control set MPC of active current-source rectifier with full state space model

Finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) is very effective and simple control approach which has been suitable for control of various types of power converters. It is a very flexible tool because it evaluates an arbitrary cost function which directly influences converter behavior according to particular demand. For an accurate numerical calculation of the cost function, discretization of state space model is the most accurate approach among the single step calculation methods. Common definition of the current-source rectifier state space model covers only the input ac part of the rectifier whereas the dc part is calculated separately by Euler method. In this paper, definition of full state space model enabling an accurate discretization of all converter variables at once will be introduced, described and compared with a common solution. A behavior of both models will be compared in terms of their performance, robustness and simplicity. Final results will be introduced by simulation study in MATLAB/Plecs.
