The single-vector-based model-predictive-based direct power control (MPDPC) is commonly used for control of three-phase full-bridge ac/dc converters, but it could only select the best switching vector to be implemented. Due to the limited number of voltage vectors in a two-level three-phase converter, the sampling frequency needs to be high to achieve an acceptable performance. Also, it bears variable switching frequency that causes spread spectrum nature of harmonics. In this paper, a three-vector-based simplified model predictive duty cycle control (SMPDCC) is proposed. The adjacent two nonzero vectors are selected by evaluating the effects of each vector pairs based on the revised cost function. The duration calculation is simplified compared with the conventional predictive duty cycle control (CPDCC) by allocating a control period in reciprocal proportion with the corresponding cost function value of the selected vectors. Besides, the negative duration issue of CPDCC could be completely avoided and the mutual influence elimination ability could be realized. A comparative study with MPDPC and CPDCC has been conducted to verify the superiority of the proposed scheme by the simulation and experimental results. It shows that the SMPDCC has the advantages of lower power ripple, fixed switching frequency, lower total harmonic distortion, and mutual influence elimination ability.
