Finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) methods in different power electronic applications are gaining considerable attention due to their simplicity and fast dynamics. This paper introduces an assessment of the two-level three-phase voltage source converter (2L-VSC) utilizing different MPC schemes with and without a modulation stage. In order to perform such a comparative evaluation, 2L-VSC efficiency and total harmonics distortion of the voltage (THDv) have been investigated, when considering a linear load. The results demonstrate the performance of different MPC algorithms through an experimental verification on a Danfoss converter, and a set of analyses have been studied using the PLECS and MATLAB/SIMULINK together. It can be concluded that a comparable performance is achieved by using conventional MPC (CMPC), improved MPC (IMPC), periodic MPC (PMPC), and MPC scheme with modulator (M 2 PC) controllers. The assessment is critical to classify the strategies as mentioned earlier according to their efficiency. Furthermore, it gives a thorough point of view on which algorithm is suitable for the grid-forming applications.
