Abstract

This paper deals with an improvement of the Predictive Direct Power Control (P-DPC) for MV three-level NPC converters. Contrary to the previously developed P-DPC strategy, the proposed approach combines a symmetrical 3+3 voltage vectors' sequence for the steady-sate operation with a simple two voltage vectors' sequence for transient requirements. Simulations of the proposed hybrid algorithm are compared to a standard Voltage Oriented Control (VOC) under 2.3kV-2MVA operation conditions. Both the P-DPC and the VOC strategies offer similar steady-state performances but the P-DPC is clearly better during transients. These results match with the expected behavior and reinforce the choice of P-DPC as an attractive candidate for the control of MV grid connected converters.
