Predictive Control for Microgrid Applications: A Review Study
Ariel Villalon,Marco Rivera,Yamisleydi Salgueiro,Javier Munoz,Tomislav Dragicevic,Frede Blaabjerg +5 more
TL;DR: Predictive control appears as a very promising control scheme with several advantages for microgrid applications of different control levels and with adaptations of the models in order to include uncertainties to improve their performance and dynamics response.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Power Sharing Control of Islanded AC Microgrid Considering Droop Control and Virtual Impedance
TL;DR: A decentralized power sharing control scheme that includes droop control with virtual impedances with PI controllers for the voltage and current is proposed for an islanded AC microgrid with two voltage source inverters in parallel that share a residential load.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Predictive Control for an Asymmetric Multilevel Converter for Photovoltaic Energy
TL;DR: A 27-level asymmetric cascade H-bridge multilevel topology for photovoltaic applications, which considers a predictive control strategy that allows minimization of the commutations of the converter, and a low distortion in the current waveform and low switching losses is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictive Control with Current-Based Maximum Power Point-Tracking for On-Grid Photovoltaic Applications
Carlos Muñoz,Marco Rivera,Ariel Villalon,Carlos R. Baier,Javier Munoz,Roberto O. Ramirez,Patrick Wheeler +6 more
TL;DR: A control strategy for power injection to the electrical system from photovoltaic plants through a voltage source inverter two-level-type (VSI-2L) converter is proposed, which combines a current-based maximum power point-tracking (Current-Based MPPT) with model predictive control (MPC) strategy, allowing avoidance of the use of PI controllers and lowering of the dependence of high-capacitive value condensers.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
New Reduced Switched Multilevel Inverter for Three-Phase Grid-Connected PV System, Performance Evaluation
Mohammad Ali Hosseinzadeh,Maryam Sarbanzadeh,Javier Munoz,Marco Rivera,Carlos Munoz,Ariel Villalon +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper a new multilevel inverter topology is proposed for a three-phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system that generates seven-levels with reduced number of power switches than conventional symmetric multileVEL inverters.
