        In this paper, a finite-control-set model predictive control method is presented for closed loop control of an active front-end rectifier. The method used has a discrete-time function and does not require any additional modulators. The interesting point in the control algorithm is how to control the dynamic references. The control strategy is able to provide proper references for source active power and DC voltage, without the need for additional control loops. In order to better understand the performance, the proposed control method is compared with the model predictive direct power control (MPDPC) method. The results obtained using Matlab/Simulink software show that the proposed method, while having all the capabilities of the MPDPC method, including proper tracking of active power and DC voltage and low current THD, by removing the PI controller and its related disadvantages, it has better stability and faster transient response.

        <p>In two-way feeding induction generators, the stator coils connect directly to the grid, while the rotor coils connect through power electronic converters. Back-to-Back (BTB) converters are commonly used but suffer from high losses, size, and weight due to their two-stage structure and DC link capacitor. This paper proposes replacing BTB converters with matrix converters for improved efficiency and compactness. The proposed method utilizes direct power control in the matrix converter for superior tracking of reference values during changes in both reference and turbine power. However, power electronic converters can introduce harmonics and power fluctuations. To address this, a passive hybrid filter is employed at the converter's input and output. This filter reduces active and reactive power fluctuations, improves Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and enhances overall power quality. Additionally, the matrix converter's fast dynamic response to reference power changes eliminates the need for complex current control loops, resulting in a simpler structure with minimal calculations. The paper compares the performance of the proposed method (matrix converter with filter) against scenarios with and without a filter. The results demonstrate the filter's effectiveness and superiority in achieving optimal performance.</p> Manuscript profile
