This paper presents a model predictive direct power control scheme for high-power grid-connected neutral-point-clamped converters. The controller regulates the instantaneous real and reactive powers, as well as the neutral-point potential of the converter, within a set of symmetrical bounds while, at the same time, minimizing the switching frequency of the converter. The proposed approach is distinct from previous predictive power control strategies in that a long prediction horizon is used, allowing lower device switching frequencies to be achieved. A detailed model of the system is provided, and the control algorithm is discussed. Simulation results validate the applicability of the controller to a 3-kV 6.72-MVA system. Experimental results, which are presented for a 240-V 1.68-kVA prototype, show good agreement with those obtained in simulation and further validate the concept.
