This paper proposes a power predictive control (PPC) method for three-phase pulse width modulated rectifiers without a

proportional-integral controller. The proposed PPC method calculates the optimized voltage vector by analyzing the relationship

between the virtual flux, active power, converter voltage, and filter parameters. Thus, an overshoot does not occur and the fast and

accurate power control becomes possible. The predictive algorithm computes the power error that would be produced by applying

each vector and selects the one that contributes the minimum error. The simulation and experimental results prove that the

proposed method provides an excellent steady-state performance and quick dynamic response.
