Summary: | With the high-speed development of digital signal processors, model predictive current control (MPCC) has been widely used in power converters. However, the control robustness of MPCC is poor because of its strong dependence on the model parameters. In this paper, an ultra-local model-free predictive current control (MFPCC) for three-level grid-connected inverters (GCI) with LCL filters is proposed. Based on ultra-local theory, a third-order ultra-local model of the GCI with LCL filters is constructed. Then, a Kalman filter (KF) is introduced to estimate the three perturbations. Moreover, the perturbations are compensated to the predictive current model, thus reducing the number of model parameters involved in the predictive control. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed MFPCC improves the tracking performance of the grid current and strengthens the dynamic response capabilities under the parameter mismatch. Furthermore, the output power quality becomes higher, and the system robustness is also enhanced under noisy environment.
