The conversion and control for the utilization of power generated from energy sources can\nbe performed using a power electronic converter system. The voltage source inverter (VSI) is one of\nthe commonly used converter topologies, being controlled by a switching control algorithm for power\nconversion. Finite set-model predictive control (FS-MPC) is a modern switching control algorithm\nand has received significant attention due to its predictive nature. In this paper, the implementation\nof FS-MPC is presented for the load-side current control of a three-phase VSI system using an\nintegrated platform of MATLAB/Simulink and Xilinx system generator (XSG). The XSG provides the\nfunctionality of digital design and intuitive implementation of field-programmable gate array (FPGA)\ncontrolled systems. The additional functionality of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) co-simulation using\nFPGA is used for the testing and validation of controller performance. The controller performance is\nvalidated through three platforms: MATLAB/Simulink, XSG and HIL co-simulation using ZedBoard\nZynq evaluation and development FPGA kit.
