TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed description of Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) applied to power converters is presented and compared with traditional power converter control techniques, such as linear controllers with PWM based modulation methods.
Abstract: This paper presents a detailed description of Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) applied to power converters. Several key aspects related to this methodology are in depth presented and compared with traditional power converter control techniques, such as linear controllers with PWM based modulation methods. The basic concepts, operating principles, control diagrams and results are used to provide a comparison between the different control strategies. The analysis is performed on a traditional three-phase voltage source inverter, used as simple and comprehensive reference frame. However, additional topologies and power systems are addressed to highlight differences, potentialities and challenges of FCS-MPC. Among the conclusions are the feasibility and great potential of FCSMPC due to today's signal processing capability, specially for power systems with a reduced number of switching states and more complex operating principles, such as matrix converters. In addition, the possibility to address different or additional control objectives easily in a single cost function, enables a simple, flexible and improved performance controller for power conversion systems.

TL;DR: In this article, an autonomous control method for a DC microgrid system having distribution power generators is described, which brings high reliability, high-flexibility and maintenance-free operation to the system.
Abstract: This paper describes an autonomous-control method for a DC microgrid system having distribution power generators. This system consists of following five generation and control units; a solar-cell generation unit, a wind-turbine generation unit, a battery energy-storage unit, a flywheel power-leveling unit, and an AC grid-connected power control unit. The proposed control method intended for suppression of circulating current detects only the DC grid voltage. Each unit could be controlled autonomously without communicating each other. This method brings high reliability, high-flexibility and maintenance-free operation to the system. Experimental results from a 10 kW-prototype system verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed control method.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the supercapacitor in a PV energy control unit (ECU) is investigated by using Matlab/Simulink models, where the ECU monitors and optimizes the power flow from the PV to the battery-supercapacitors hybrid and the load.
Abstract: Most of the stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems require an energy storage buffer to supply continuous energy to the load when there is inadequate solar irradiation. Typically, Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries are utilized for this application. However, supplying a large burst of current, such as motor startup, from the battery degrades battery plates, resulting in destruction of the battery. An alterative way of supplying large bursts of current is to combine VRLA batteries and supercapacitors to form a hybrid storage system, where the battery can supply continuous energy and the supercapacitor can supply the instant power to the load. In this paper, the role of the supercapacitor in a PV energy control unit (ECU) is investigated by using Matlab/Simulink models. The ECU monitors and optimizes the power flow from the PV to the battery-supercapacitor hybrid and the load. Three different load conditions are studied, including a peak current load, pulsating current load and a constant current load. The simulation results show that the hybrid storage system can achieve higher specific power than the battery storage system.

TL;DR: In this article, a multiphase space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) analysis based on multiple d-q spaces concept is proposed to synthesize an arbitrary nonsinusoidal phase voltage.
Abstract: Multiphase motors are usually designed to have the concentrated winding and nonsinusoidal air gap flux density distribution in order to maximize the torque per ampere. This means that the phase voltage of a multiphase motor has the nonsinusoidal waveform. Accordingly, the conventional analysis on a multiphase space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM), which is confined to a sinusoidal phase voltage, should be extended to a nonsinusoidal phase voltage. In this paper, based on a multiple d-q spaces concept a novel analysis on a multiphase SVPWM to synthesize an arbitrary nonsinusoidal phase voltage is proposed. Through out this paper, a five-phase inverter is used as a practical example. The basic concepts can be easily extended to an n-phase inverter.

TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the active methods used for islanding detection is presented, and the reported algorithms are carefully analyzed in their advantage and drawbacks and the considerations are validated by tests results obtained in accordance with the IEEE Std. 929-2000 procedure.
Abstract: For pt.I see ibid., p.420-5 (2006).This paper offers an overview of the active methods used for islanding detection. The inverter control algorithm is based on the use of harmonic compensators in order to create ideal working conditions (i.e. the PV-system produces a sinusoidal current and reject grid harmonics). This condition is the indispensable starting point to implement active islanding detection methods. In fact these methods are based on the perturbation of the ideal conditions (e.g. the injection of active/reactive power, the injection of current harmonics, or the insertion of an external capacitor). All the reported algorithms are carefully analysed in their advantage and drawbacks and the considerations are validated by tests results obtained in accordance with the IEEE Std. 929-2000 procedure
