Model predictive control of high voltage direct current based on voltage source converter transmission system

Abstract

<span lang="EN-US">Model predictive control (MPC) has recently been ranked as one of the best modern technics of control for high voltage direct current (HVDC) based on voltage source converter (VSC) transmission systems, since it is a simple controller, understandable and can be implemented easily, also has a dynamic and fast response. The classic double closed loop PI controller has many disadvantages such as the difficulty in determining the Kp, Ki, and Kd parameters as well as the couplings; It is also less robust against systems with slow dynamics and/or having a complex structure. This paper exposes a model predictive control for a two-level converter. Direct power control on rectifier-side based on model prediction and on the inverter-side AC current control strategy is proposed. The controller utilizes the identified model to anticipate the comportment of the output voltage of every switching state at each sampling frequency. At the next sampling interval, the optimum switching state is applied using the cost function as a reference point. The MPC method was verified by the tools of the MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulation results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the presented control strategy.</span>

Low power CMOS Gm-C based low pass filter for front end neural signal processing

“…The aspect ratio (W/L) of MOSFETs in the current mirror of Gm-C filter circuit and current steering circuit is optimized resulting in further reduction of Gm. The transconductance Gm is proportional to square root of the aspect ratio (W/L) and also in the current mirror the circuit mirror factor depends on W/L [29]. Optimizing W/L ratio results in low transconductance and thus gives the desired cutoff frequency.…”

Improved Direct Torque Control Utilizing Model Predictive Control Approach for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

“…Various different speeds driving techniques and architectures for PMSMs have been actively explored and published lately. The greatest general mechanism systems are field oriented control (FOC) and direct torque control (DTC) [3][4]. DTC's benefits over FOC comprise its unpretentious construction, rapid dynamic restraint, and excellent resilience versus motor parameter fluctuation [5]- [6].…”
