Robust Model Predictive Control for AFE-Inverter Drives With Common Mode Voltage Elimination by S.M. Muslem Uddin, Galina Mirzaeva, Graham C. Goodwin

“…The main feature of the proposed MPC is elimination of Common Mode Voltage (CMV) without imposing a penalty on the corresponding term in the cost function, but rather by a smart utilisation of the restricted set of switching states in a computationally efficient algorithm. Furthermore, the paper proposes to split the conventional MPC scheme into separate Control and Modulation stages, and to enhance the Control stage by integral action, and the Modulation stage - by a Feedback Quantizer. …”
