Abstract
Embodiments are directed to a model predictive control for power electronics. The model predictive control includes a plurality of switching matrices defining potential states of a plurality of power converter switches of a multi-level power converter and a control. The control is configured to select a current switching matrix from the switching matrices that models the multi-level power converter in a current state. The control determines a targeted switching matrix from the switching matrices that best aligns with a targeted state based on alignment with a multi-objective function and changes with respect to the current state. The control adjusts a switch state of the power converter switches based on the targeted switching matrix. The control sets the current switching matrix to the targeted switching matrix and monitoring for changes with respect to the multi-objective function and the current state.
