Design of a Model Predictive Control for a Boost Type Matrix Converter

This document describes the Model Predictive Control MPC for a three-phase to three-phase direct matrix converter with an L filter at the input and a C filter at the output for networks connection applications and wind turbines. This AC/AC converter allows the generation of sinusoidal output voltages with variable frequency, input currents with low harmonic distortion and a unit power factor at the source. The work begins by developing the equations of the system, designing the predictive control of the system in the DQ rotating frame. The proposed MPC control uses a cost function J to select the switching state to be applied to the next switching. This gives a sinusoidal output voltage and input currents in phase with the input voltage. Simulations using Matlab/Simulink are presented to validate the proposed control scheme.
