Model Predictive Control for Three-Phase, Four-Leg Dynamic Voltage Restorer

Dynamic voltage restores (DVRs) are usually used to mitigate the effect of voltage sag and guarantee sufficient power supply for sensitive loads. However, three-phase voltage cannot be compensated to the desired balance voltage under unbalanced three-phase loads by traditional DVRs with a three-phas...

description Dynamic voltage restores (DVRs) are usually used to mitigate the effect of voltage sag and guarantee sufficient power supply for sensitive loads. However, three-phase voltage cannot be compensated to the desired balance voltage under unbalanced three-phase loads by traditional DVRs with a three-phase, three-leg inverter. To address this problem, a three-phase, four-leg inverter-based DVR is first introduced in this paper, and then the state space model in its continuous form and discrete form are established, respectively. A two-step predictive method is proposed for the prediction of the output voltage in each switching state by the established voltage prediction model. Finite-control-set model predictive control (MPC) is developed to be used in the three-phase, four-leg inverter-based DVR. Its dynamic response is effectively improved by the proposed MPC method under various voltage sag conditions. The proposed DVR control strategy is validated via MATLAB/Simulink-R2022b simulations, which demonstrate its effectiveness in voltage compensation under various sag conditions.
