Reactive Power Control Using a Model-Based Predictive Control Strategy Applied to an Indirect Matrix Converter

Rojas, Diego; Rivera, Marco; Toledo, Sergio; Wheeler, Patrick

Abstract

Reactive power is often an issue of concern for the operation of alternating current (AC) electrical power systems. This work aims to apply a model-based predictive control (MPC) to an indirect matrix converter (IMC) to improve the power factor at the input of a converter whilst still having full control of the output current or voltage. Simulation results from a Matlab/Simulink model are presented. The objective is to compare the control performance of the IMC without input reactive power control and with reactive power minimization.
