Although the traditional model predictive control (MPC) can theoretically provide AC current and circulating current control for modular multilevel converters (MMCs) in battery energy storage grid-connected systems, it suffers from stability problems due to the power quality of the power grid and model parameter mismatches. A two discrete-time disturbance observers (DOBs)-based MPC strategy is investigated in this paper to solve this problem. The first DOB is used to improve the AC current quality and the second enhances the stability of the circulating current control. The distortion and fluctuation of grid voltage and inductance parameter variation are considered as lump disturbances in the discrete modeling of a MMC. Based on the proposed method, the output prediction is compensated by disturbance estimation to correct the AC current and circulating current errors, which eventually achieve the expected tracking performance. Moreover, the DOBs have a quite low computational cost with minimum order and optimal performance properties. Since the designed DOBs work in parallel with the MPC, the control effect is improved greatly under harmonics, 3-phase unbalance, voltage sag, inductance parameter mismatches and power reversal conditions. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed scheme.

In recent years, modular multilevel converters (MMCs) have developed rapidly, and are widely used in medium and high voltage applications. Model predictive control (MPC) has attracted wide attention recently, and its advantages include straightforward implementation, fast dynamic response, simple system design, and easy handling of multiple objectives. The main technical challenge of the conventional MPC for MMC is the reduction of computational complexity of the cost function without the reduction of control performance of the system. Some modified MPC scan decrease the computational complexity by evaluating the number of on-state sub-modules (SMs) rather than the number of switching states. However, the computational complexity is still too high for an MMC with a huge number of SMs. A reverse MPC (R-MPC) strategy for MMC was proposed in this paper to further reduce the computational burden by calculating the number of inserted SMs directly, based on the reverse prediction of arm voltages. Thus, the computational burden was independent of the number of SMs in the arm. The control performance of the proposed R-MPC strategy was validated by Matlab/Simulink software and a down-scaled experimental prototype.
