Since around two decades predictive control is investigated in many important Research institutes. Most applications have been dealing with power electronics and electrical drives. This keynote is going to show the main differences between conventional control and model predictive control. There will be a statement, under which circumstances model predictive control has significant advantages. There will be some examples to emphasize that. Furthermore, the application of predictive control in sensorless operations of AC drives will be explained. New phase-locked loop with finite-position set is proposed to extend the principles of the finite-control-set model predictive control to the speed/position observers will be illustrated.     «
