Hence, for a better integration of WECS in the electrical grid and in order to satisfy IEEE 519 standards, WECS must inject a quality power with a rate of total harmonics distortion (THD) that is less than 5\%. Multilevel Inverters are an emerging solution for having a perfect sinusoidal output voltage with minimum harmonic content and lower switching losses than the two-level inverter so that only a smaller filter size is required. Thus, in this paper we are presenting a significantly improved results of the reduction of the grid injected current THD using three types of inverters (two-levels, three-levels NPC, and five-levels H-bridge cascade) for a WECS and comparing the THD performances of using each of the studied inverter. All results of THD are verified by a Fast Fourier transform simulation using MATLAB/Simulink. {\textcopyright} 2022, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

For such configuration, due to their high performances, the Finite-Control-Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) is a very attractive control solution. The FCS-MPC scheme is based on the prediction of the future behavior of the controlled variables using the dynamic model of PMSM and the discrete nature of the 3L-NPC inverter. However, the parametric uncertainties and time-varying parameters affect the FCS-MPC algorithm performances. In this paper, robust FCS-MPC controls based on "dynamic error correction" (DEC) and "modified revised prediction" (MRP) are proposed to improve the FCS-MPC robustness without affecting the controller performances and complexity. The proposed strategies are improved also by multiobjective (MO) algorithm optimization and computation delay compensation. The simulation results included prove the performance in robustness and efficiency of the proposed robust FCS-MPC-DEC. {\textcopyright} 2020 Abdiddaim Katkout et al.}, keywords = {Algorithm optimization, Controller performance, Electric inverters, Electric vehicles, Error correction, High performance electric vehicles, Model predictive control, Multi-objective modeling, Parametric uncertainties, Permanent magnet synchronous motor drives, Permanent magnets, Predictive control systems, Robustness (control systems), Synchronous motors, Three-level neutral point clamped, Time varying parameter}, doi = {10.1155/2020/7015865}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85085550129\&doi=10.1155\%2f2020\%2f7015865\&partnerID=40\&md5=a8af2bbc90a7acb6f7216d05eda69e31}, author = {Katkout, A. and Nasser, T. and Essadki, A.} } @article {Chakib2019359, title = {Robust ADRC control of a doubly fed induction generator based wind energy conversion system}, journal = {Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering}, volume = {519}, year = {2019}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {359-368}, doi = {10.1007/978-981-13-1405-6_44}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85051797189\&doi=10.1007\%2f978-981-13-1405-6_44\&partnerID=40\&md5=2a302a1a265fe62df52bb43456d6e3f1}, author = {Chakib, M. and Essadki, A. and Nasser, T.} } @article {Boualouch20171, title = {A robust power control of a DFIG used in wind turbine conversion system}, journal = {International Energy Journal}, volume = {17}, number = {1}, year = {2017}, note = {cited By 0}, pages = {1-10}, abstract = {This paper presents a robust power control of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) based on the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) connected to the grid power.

The proposed control strategy employs ADRC based on Extended State Observer (ESO) scheme to directly calculate the required rotor control voltage in order to eliminate the instantaneous errors of active and reactive powers.
