This paper proposes the model predictive control with space vector modulation (SVM) method for current control of voltage-source
inverter. Unlike the conventional method using a limited number of voltage vectors by switching states, the proposed method can
consider various voltage vectors to identify the optimized voltage vector. The various voltage vectors are obtained by subdividing
existing voltage vectors. The optimized voltage vector that minimizes the cost function is selected and applied to the inverter by
using the SVM. The various voltage vectors and SVM reduce current ripples in the output AC side of the inverter compared with the
conventional method. The effectiveness and performance of the proposed method are verified through simulation and experiment
with a three-phase two-level voltage-source grid-connected inverter.
