Cascaded predictive control for a three-phase VSI with different cost functions

Predictive control for power converters has been gaining interest as well as popularity in recent years. This paper presents a cascade predictive control for a voltage source inverter which is evaluated with different control objectives to meet a range of performance goals. The control technique consists on evaluating different control objectives but without considering weighting factors, since these objectives are evaluated independently and in cascade. The simulation results in Matlab/Simulink presented a good performance under different operating and control requirement scenarios.
