Abstract

This paper presents the finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) with improved control objectives using optimized weighting factors. The Pareto curve obtained from the Particle Swarm optimizes the weighting factors. The optimal weighting factors are then used in the FCS-MPC algorithm to enhance the control objective performance of a three-phase five-level current source converter (5L-CSC). In 5L-CSC, two identical three-level CSC (3L-CSC) modules are connected in parallel with one common current source supply to provide uniform five-level output current waveform. This CSC requires a current balance to operate the converter safely. Therefore, the control objective of the MPC is to control the output voltage and balance the internal currents. The weighting factors are optimized based on the converter's total harmonics distortion (THD) performance and inductor current ripple. The performance enhancement of 5L-CSC, utilizing optimal weighting factors, is confirmed through MATLAB simulations when compared to the model employing arbitrarily assigned weighting factors. The simulation outcomes additionally indicate that the integration of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with FCS-MPC exhibits resilience across various condition settings.
