Real-Time Implicit Model Predictive Control for 3-phase VSI

This paper deals with the real time implementation of an Implicit Model Predictive Control strategy applied to a 3-phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) in stand-alone applications. Solving the optimization problem online with a sufficiently short sampling time allows to directly control the output voltage while respecting the desired constraints. Due to the resulting complex calculations and the related time-constraints, the implementation has been carried out on an industrial-grade FPGA to take advantage of the true parallel execution capabilities.
