description With the development of power conversion systems or bidirectional grid-connected inverters characterized by high DC voltage, high efficiency, and high-power density, high-switching-frequency SiC power switches are being widely used, and these require a short computational time of control algorithm. Based on the sector judgment of a space voltage vector and the midpoint potential control balancing of a DC bus, an improved finite control set method prediction control (FCS-MPC) method was proposed for a T-type three-level PCS. This improved FCS-MPC first judges the sector of the space voltage vector and locates the position of the corresponding large sector according to phase lock information; then, it analyzes the sampled voltage of the upper and lower bus capacitors to obtain the midpoint potential situation and selects appropriate small vectors based on the midpoint potential situation. This simple improved strategy can reduce the computational complexity of traditional MPC for rolling optimization, resulting in a reduction in the vectors from 27 to 8. A SiC-based 10 kW bidirectional PCS prototype verified the improved FCS-MPC, and the computational time was reduced about by 56% in comparison to traditional FCS-MPC.
