As the smart grid evolves, it requires increasing distributed intelligence, optimization and
control. Model predictive control (MPC) facilitates these functionalities for smart grid …

South Africa is currently experiencing an energy crisis because of a mismatch between
energy supply and demand. Increasing energy demand necessitates the adequate …

With the exponential penetration of Photovoltaic (PV) plants into the power grid, advanced
current controllers should be employed in grid-tied power converters in order to efficiently …

The continuous increase of renewable energy installation in the power system such as roof-
PV systems decreases the system inertia. It is a non-negligible challenge to the system's …

Model Predictive Control (MPC) techniques are widely used in grid connected inverter
applications because of their fast dynamics and easy implementation. However, the …

Four-switch three-phase inverter (FSTPI) is widely used as a cost-effective fault-tolerant
topology of six-switch three-phase inverter with an open-phase fault. To solve the inherent …

The power control based on the generalized predictive current control (GPCC) applied in the
power electronic converter connected to the grid is presented in the article. A design process …

Due to the application of only one voltage vector in a control period, conventional model
predictive torque control (MPTC) suffers from relatively large steady‐state ripples. The‐state …

This work presents a novel control paradigm to improve the Direct Current Regulation (DCR)
of two-level inverters that are connected to the grid with LCL filters. The Deep Reinforcement …

A three-phase grid-connected photo-voltaic converter is investigated to enhance its
operational capabilities and stability margins. These converters are generally connected to …
