In modern power systems, the proliferation of power electronics converters, and distributed generation raises important issues concerning inter-connected switching units in terms of performance, stability and robustness. Such phenomenon are more prominent in micro-grids, such as modern local low voltage distribution systems, more electric...

This paper presents a new Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) algorithm with sensorless mains voltage detection, which has been applied to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) driven by a Matrix Converter (MC). Unlike classical MC modulation methods, FCS-MPC allows direct control of the MC input currents. The mains...
