The manuscript presents a Model Predictive type Current Control (MPCC) of single-phase 13-level Transistor-Clamped H-Bridge (TCHB) based cascaded Multi Level Inverter (MLI) for improving power quality. The objective of the MPCC is to regulate the inverter output current by using 15 switches and 14 voltage vectors. The working condition of the MPCC strategy is investigated using steady state condition, transient state condition, variation of input frequency and variation of sampling time through simulations with RL load. The results show that the MPCC schemes perform well for all operating conditions and the inverter delivers a good quality of load voltage and load current with less harmonic components value. The inverter model and MPCC algorithm is implemented by using MATLAB software. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2018.

A model predictive current control (MPCC)-based single-phase shunt active power filter (SAPF) is proposed in this manuscript to improve power quality by harmonics and reactive power compensation. The DC link capacitor voltage regulation-based PI control algorithm is used for the computation of SAPF reference current signal. The current commands are tracked using the MPCC. In this manuscript, the control technique effectiveness is demonstrated through MATLAB simulation and experimentation with Cyclone-IV EP4CE30F484 FPGA board under dynamic operating conditions. The obtained results from a simulations and hardware prototype shows the proposed algorithm shows perfect reference current tracking at every sampling instant and excellent dynamic performance. Subsequently, the main advantages of this proposed controller are absence of internal current control loops and modulation stage. © 2019 John Wiley &amp; Sons, Ltd.
