摘要

In this paper, a novel finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC)-based solution is proposed to eliminate the common-mode voltage (CMV) in matrix converters. Different from the existing MPC-based CMV reduction methods, which usually utilize all the possible switching configurations, in the proposed method, only the six rotating vectors, which produce no CMV, are included in the FCS to synthesize the output voltage and the input current. Therefore, zero CMV can be achieved naturally and no CMV related term needs to be included in the cost function. In addition, compared with other zero CMV methods, e.g., the enhanced space-vector modulation using rotating vectors, the proposed MPC-based method can significantly reduce the computational complexity without detracting the CMV elimination performance. Moreover, a modified four-step commutation strategy is proposed to effectively mitigate the CMV spikes due to the dead time, which usually exists when using the conventional current-based four-step commutation strategy. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are validated by using experimental studies.
