Predictive Control of a Back-to-Back NPC Converter-Based Wind Power System.

As wind power technology points to increase power ratings, the implementation based on a permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with a full-power converter is expanding its market share. Multilevel converters, as for example, neutral-point clamped (NPC) converters, are therefore well suited for this application. Predictive current control presents similar dynamic response and reference trac...
