| Description: |
Objectives: The primary aim of the EXPLORE-MP3S project was to implement and evaluate finite set model predictive control (MPC) strategies for a 3-phase split-source inverter (SSI) using a realtime hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform. This involved: • Applying finite set MPC algorithms to the SSI. • Comparing MPC performance with the modified space-vector pulse-width modulation (MSVPWM), a recognized PWM strategy for SSIs. Scope and Motivation: The 3-phase SSI is a novel inverter topology with several benefits, including reduced passive component count and continuous input current. Finite set MPC has gained popularity in power electronics due to its intuitive design, ability to handle constraints, and excellent dynamic performance. The project sought to explore these advantages by applying MPC algorithms in a real-time HIL setup and comparing it to MSVPWM.Methodology: The project utilized a Typhoon HIL emulator and a DSP-based HIL controller (Vindobona) for simulation and real-time testing. Various MPC algorithms were tested, including: • MPC with two cost functions, with forbidden simultaneous switching in all three phase legs, and with a single zero switching state allowed (MPC-2CF) • MPC-2CF with both zero switching states allowed (MPC-2CF-2Z) • MPC-2CF with allowed simultaneous switching in all three phase legs (MPC-2CF-3L) • MPC-2CF with switching penalization by means of a weighting factor (MPC-2CF-SW) • MPC with a single cost function, with forbidden simultaneous switching in all three phase legs, and with a single zero switching state allowed (MPC-1CF) Performance metrics included average switching frequency, steady-state errors, total harmonic distortion (THD), and dynamic performance. Initial simulations and virtual HIL testing were conducted before real-time implementation. The project was structured in the following key phases: • Week 1: Laboratory setup and equipment familiarization were completed as planned. • Week 2: MSVPWM-based control of the SSI was successfully implemented using the HIL ... |
