In this work, an adaptive selective harmonic elimination model predictive control (ASHEMPC) method for a 3L-T type inverter is proposed. This algorithm is based on model predictive control (MPC), introduces adaptive selective harmonic elimination (ASHE) algorithm, and performs digital delay compensation through two-step prediction. Compared with the harmonic suppression strategies based on PI or PR controller, ASHE-MPC significantly improves the current loop bandwidth, speeds up the dynamic response, and greatly increases the harmonic order that can be eliminated. Compared with the harmonic suppression strategies based on the deadbeat model predictive control (DB-MPC), ASHE-MPC can eliminate low-order harmonics caused by multiple factors (including dead-time and grid background harmonics), and can easily eliminate multiple harmonics (5^th-31^th in this paper). The proposed ASHE-MPC method for the first time achieves adaptive selective harmonic elimination in model predictive control. The ASHE-MPC method is novel, simple and efficient. A three-level T-type grid-connected inverter for dead-time compensation is used as an example to verify the feasibility of this method.
