Comparison of Linear State Signal Shaping Model Predictive Control with Classical Concepts for Active Power Filter Design

Many power networks are currently under major change processes due to the necessary integration of renewable energy sources. This brings the need to include Active Power Filter (APF) as well as controlling them in an adequate way. New control concepts like Linear State Signal Shaping Model Predictive Control (LSSS MPC) are specialized for these tasks and complex compared to classical concepts. Simulation studies show the advantages of LSSS MPC in performance, robustness and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) compensation.
