报告题目：Predictive Control in Power Electronics and Electrical Drives

报告摘要：
In the last decade, fast modern microcontrollers have been continuously growing, allowing to develop and implement new and more intelligent control strategies as an alternative to conventional techniques for power converters. Predictive Control is one of these powerful and attractive alternatives that has received special attention in the last time. The use of predictive control offers several interesting advantages: it is an intuitive control approach, it does not need linear controllers and modulators, and it is possible to include easily nonlinearities and restrictions in the control law. It can be expected that the advantages of predictive control will lead to industrial applications in the future after some further progress.
