Modulated Model Predictive Control for Multilevel Cascaded H-Bridge Converter-Based Static Synchronous Compensator

The model predictive control (MPC) methods have been widely applied due to the fast dynamic performance and multiple control targets. However, they show certain limits when applied to the multilevel converters, such as unfixed switching frequency, large computation burden, and complex weighting factors selection. This article proposes a novel modulated MPC (M2PC) method for cascaded H-b...
