讲座摘要：
Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a conceptually simple yet powerful methodology to control power converters, electric drives, and large systems, such as electrical power grids. MPC provides many advantages over traditional controllers, including the capability to intuitively handle a large variety of control problems by considering different modes of operation and directly incorporating system constraints and additional requirements. The underlying concepts are intuitive, the resulting controllers are inherently stable and, once calculated, easy to implement. The advances in the processing power of digital signal processors have recently promoted MPC into the first commercial application, which opened a door toward improved performance and efficiency of power converters, electric drives, and power grids.
The goal of this tutorial is to provide working knowledge on the development and implementation of MPC in different application fields. The introduction teaches the basic MPC principles, including mathematical techniques and optimization methods necessary to formulate and solve the control problem. In the second part, this tutorial will focus on addressing practical challenges in MPC of electrical drives. Particularly, this tutorial introduces the recent development of predictive encoderless control for AC motor drives. In addition to the expected combination of predictive control and pulse signal injection method, the cooperation of predictive control and fundamental frequency model method will also be introduced. Finally, in the last section, applications on offshore wind power systems, including high-power converters with IGCT devices and modular multilevel converters, are presented. These case studies demonstrate practical MPC designs and evaluate and discuss their results.
