Abstract

In recent years, model predictive control (MPC) has gained significant traction within the realm of LC-filtered voltage source inverters (VSIs). In order to reduce the number of current sensors in conventional MPC, this paper proposes a MPC scheme without current sensors for LC-filtered VSIs. Firstly, this paper analyzes the mathematical model of LC-filtered VSIs and specifies the predictive control strategy based on capacitive current. On the basis of considering only the fundamental wave components of the capacitance current, this paper establishes a new sliding mode observer to observe the capacitance current. In order to ensure the stability of the system, the stability of the proposed sliding mode observer is analyzed using Lyapunov stability criterion, and the influence of the sliding mode gain on the current and voltage observations is also analyzed according to the closed-loop transfer function, giving the design method of the sliding mode gain. In addition, the parameter sensitivities of the newly proposed method and the conventional method are analyzed in detail in this paper. The results show that the method proposed in this paper does not depend on the filter inductance and the observed capacitance current have smaller errors and stronger parameter robustness than the conventional method. The comparative experimental study verifies the feasibility of the control scheme proposed in this paper.
