RT Journal Article T1 A novel predictive-fixed switching frequency technique for a cascade H-bridge multilevel STATCOM A1 Gregor Recalde, Raul Igmar A1 Comparatore Franco, Leonardo David A1 Renault, Alfredo A1 Rodas Benítez, Jorge Esteban A1 Pacher Vega, Julio Cesar A1 Toledo Gallardo, Sergio Ramón A1 Rivera, Marco A2 Universidad Nacional de Asunción - Facultad de Ingeniería A2 Universidad de Talca - Department of Industrial Technologies AB There are several control techniques for active power filter applications. This paper presents a new alternative of predictive current control for a cascade H-bridge multilevel converter, where the optimal vector selected by the predictive controller is used for a modulation stage to obtain a fixed switching frequency. Simulation results validate the proposal where almost similar results can be obtained in comparison with the traditional methods.
