Abstract
A model predictive control (MPC) strategy for grid-connected power converters is proposed in this article to reduce the current ripples without using ac voltage sensors. First, a sliding-mode observer is designed to estimate the grid voltage with an adaptive compensation algorithm. Thus, grid-voltage sensors are removed. The novelty of the proposed grid-voltage observation method is that it is inherent frequency adaptive without using the accurate grid angular frequency. By implementing the MPC strategy using the estimated grid voltage, the current ripples are reduced, especially under distorted grid-voltage conditions because of the low-pass filter used in the observer. Next, to further reduce the current ripples, a double-voltage vector-based MPC strategy is proposed based on the principle of the modulated MPC. Detailed theoretical analyses are also carried out to show its effectiveness for the first time. Finally, experimental studies are carried out to verify the validity of the proposed ac voltage sensorless MPC strategy.
