A predictive control scheme for a dual output indirect matrix converter

Dual output indirect matrix converter is based on the traditional indirect matrix converter topology, but the conventional six-switch inverter, used in the single-output indirect matrix converter, is replaced by a nine-switch dual output converter. Model Predictive Control (MPC) uses the discrete-time model of the system to predict future value of the controlled variable for all possible control actions and user-defined cost function related to control objectives is solved to find its minimum. The control action which minimizes the cost function is selected and applied to the system for the next time interval. This paper presents a finite control set model predictive control strategy for a single-input dual-output indirect matrix converter.
