A model predictive current control scheme with dc-link capacitor voltages fluctuation suppression for the four-switch three-phase rectifier (FSTPR) in balanced grids is presented. The proposed control scheme is a type of the finite-control-set model predictive control scheme and is based on the discrete-time model of the system. From this model, the values of input currents and dc-link capacitor voltages are predicted for all switching states of the FSTPR. On the basis of a predefined cost function, the switching state, which minimises the errors between input currents and their references as well as the difference between two dc-link capacitor voltages at the next sampling instant, is selected. Simulation results are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
