4.1 Introduction

Current control is one of the most studied problems in power electronics [1–3], so it is very important to study as a first step the application of MPC in a current control scheme. In addition, the three-phase, two-level inverter is a very well-known topology that can be found in most drive applications.

This chapter presents a MPC scheme for current control in a three-phase inverter, which is based on the control scheme reported in [4]. The control scheme and working principle will be explained in more detail than other applications in this book because the same ideas and explanations can be extended for all examples presented in the following chapters.
