Power-Compensated Triple-Vector Model Predictive Direct Power Control Strategy for Nonredundant Fault-Tolerant Rectifiers

A power-compensated triple-vector model predictive direct power control (PCTV-MPDPC) strategy is proposed in this article for nonredundant fault-tolerant three-phase rectifiers. The system fault tolerance ability and post-fault control performance are enhanced with low hardware complexity. By defining the negative conjugate of complex power as the control variable, a straightforward pattern of power–voltage relationship analysis is obtained. Besides, a novel voltage vector selection method is put forward based on the location of the error vector between the reference and real control variables. The sector identification process can be omitted to derive a unified expression for duty ratio calculation. On top of that, an intuitive power compensation architecture is proposed to eliminate the dc-bus voltage deviation so that its utilization rate can be maximized. With the proposed PCTV-MPDPC strategy, the power ripples and input current harmonics can be significantly reduced. Superior steady-state and dynamic performance can be achieved compared with the conventional finite-control-set MPDPC (FCS-MPDPC) scheme and a recently proposed multiple-vector model predictive power control (MV-MPPC) method, along with excellent dc-bus voltage deviation suppression effect. Furthermore, simulation validation in MATLAB/Simulink and experimental verification on a four-switch three-phase (FSTP) rectifier are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PCTV-MPDPC strategy.
