Adaptive Predictive Control with Neuro-Fuzzy Parameter Estimation for Microgrid Grid-Forming Converters

Model predictive control (MPC) is a flexible and multivariable control technique with better dynamic performance than linear control. However, MPC is sensitive to parametric mismatches that reduce its control capabilities. In this paper, we present a new method of improving the robustness of MPC to filter parameter variations/mismatches by easily implementable parameter estimation. Furthermore, we extend the proposed technique for wider operating conditions by novel neuro-fuzzy estimation. The results, which are demonstrated by both simulations and real-time hardware-in-the-loop tests, show a steady-state parameter estimation accuracy of 95%, and at least 20% improvement in total harmonic distortion (THD) than conventional non-adaptive MPC under parameter mismatches up to 50% of the nominal values.     «
