Кратак садржај предавања:

Due to the technological advances and the emergence of faster microcontrollers, now it is possible to perform a very large number of calculations at low cost allowing new and more complex control techniques such as fuzzy, adaptive and predictive control.

Predictive control method has found recent application in power electronics, due to the fast processing time required to control electrical variables. This technique is a very intuitive concept that is easy to implement in diverse systems. It performs well considering numerous restrictions, such as compensation for downtime or nonlinearities in the system, it offers a flexible control technique, and it is easily extendible for different applications.

In this presentation different applications of predictive control in power electronics and electrical drives will be given.
