description With an emphasis placed on a low-carbon economy, photovoltaic grid-connected inverters are moving toward the center of the stage. In order to address the problems related to the strong parameter dependence of the conventional model’s predictive control in grid-connected inverters, an improved parameter-free predictive current control is proposed. Relying on an extended state observer, an ultralocal model is employed to predict future currents without any parameters. The system can achieve a satisfactory performance in terms of dynamic response and robustness. Additionally, 30 virtual voltage vectors are extended for lower current ripples, which is followed by the use of a triangle candidate strategy to significantly ease the computing burden. In general, the proposed strategy omits parameter dependence, complex tuning work, and large tracking errors. The effectiveness of the proposed model is verified through the experimental results.
