Abstract

This paper traces the basic concepts behind the predictive control strategy used in power converters and drives. Wide research on predictive control has been increasing day-by-day. With the availability of new digital control techniques, various schemes has been proposed. Predictive control scheme presents several advantages over other control schemes that makes it capable for various applications in the field of power electronics and drives i.e. inclusion of constraints and nonlinearities. A classification of predictive control scheme is presented and each scheme is described along with its application. This paper reflects the robustness as well as flexibility of predictive control scheme. Predictive control scheme has the capability to advance the performance of future energy processing and control systems.

Keywords
