Single-Loop Control for Single-Phase Dual-Boost Grid-Tied Inverter With Half Cycle Modulation and Feedforward Virtual-Vectors MPC.

In this letter, a simplified single current loop control scheme for single-phase dual-boost inverter has been developed, combining half cycle modulation and virtual-vector (VV) based model predictive control (MPC). As the control reference can be slipped and allocated into two side boost, only a unified grid current reference is relied on in this proposed control method. Furthermore, with the concept of feedforward control, the global optimal solution space in MPC can be compressed, taking the duty ratio as boundary for the precompacted solution space. Thereby, the improved MPC can select the optimal VV in a smaller and closer subspace. Consequently, much finer control effect can be obtained. Experimental tests are provided to validate the proposed solution and its merits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
