Emerging Trends in Model Predictive Control for Power Electronics-Video

Abstract:In recent decades, the use of modern, fast microcontrollers has increased, allowing the development and implementation of new and more intelligent control strategies as alternatives to conventional techniques for power converters. Model Predictive Control is one of these powerful and attractive alternatives that has received a lot of attention in recent years. The use of predictive control offers several interesting advantages: it is an intuitive control approach, it does not require linear controllers or modulators, and it allows easy inclusion of nonlinearities and constraints in the control law. The advantages of predictive control are expected to lead to industrial applications in the near future. This webinar will present new advances and trends in the application of Model Predictive Control to power electronics.
