This paper proposes the applicability of matrix converter topology for the speed control of direct current motors. Matrix convertesr are divided into direct and indirect components. This paper utilizes an indirect matrix converter which is expected to be used widely because of making a variety of output side. The proposed converter has advantages which improves input current shape, has no large energy storage component causing short life. Simulation results are provided to verify effectiveness by comparing and analyzing features of the proposed and conventional topology. The proposed method shows similar performance for speed control, torque control, and load current control compared to a conventional method. Furthermore Harmonics are greatly reduced because the input current is controlled in a manner similar to sinusoidal wave by directly controlling switches at the rectifier stage.

본 논문에서는 매트릭스 컨버터를 이용하여 풍력을 에너지원으로한 영구자석형 동기 발전기의 계통연계방법을 제안하고 시뮬레이션으로 타당성을 검증한다. 풍속의 변화에 따라 영구자석형 동기발전기 속도가 변하며, 발전기 속도의 변화로 인해 발전전압의 크기와 주파수가 변한다. 이렇게 가변하는 발전 전압과 주파수를 계통전압의 고정된 전압 크기와 주파수로 변환하는 전력변환장치로써 기존의 PWM AC/DC/AC 컨버터 대신에 매트릭스 컨버터를 사용하여 직접적으로 AC-AC 변환을 한다. 매트릭스 컨버터가 가지고 있는, DC 링크단의 대용량 캐패시터가 필요없고; 양방향전력흐름을 제어할 수 있고, 사용자가 원하는 출력전압의 크기, 주파수, 역률을 임의로 제어 할 수 있는 이점을 사용하여 매트릭스 컨버터를 이용한 영구자석형 동기발전기의 계통연계에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 소개한다.

Matrix converter is an energy conversion device of controlled power semiconductor switches that directly connects the three-phase source to the three-phase load. With no dc-link components for energy storage in the matrix converter the input current depends directly upon the load currents and the switch state of the converter. Therefore the unbalanced and distorted input voltages can result in unwanted output harmonic currents. This paper presents a current compensator based on neural network to improving output current quality for matrix converter under abnormal input voltage conditions. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed technique has been proven through numerical simulations and experimental tests.

This paper presents supervisor control methods at a matrix converter controlled overhead crane system based on a controller area network (CAN). Four induction motors are used to drive the gantry, trolley, and hoist at he crane and each motor is controlled by the matrix converter with direct torque control (DTC). Both the position control algorithm and the supervisor control system using CAN are introduced. Simulation and experimental results are carried out to verify the performance of position control at the matrix converter controlled crane system.

The matrix converter provides sinusoidal input and output wave forms, bidirectional power flow, controllable input power factor and a long life, compared to the VSI(Voltage Source Inverter) with diode rectification stage at the input. However it has tasks, such as complexity of the control method, ride-through problem and low voltage-ratio limitation, to overcome for commercializing, This paper describes the design, construction and implementation of matrix converter based on space vector modulation technique. The implemented prototype of matrix converter is built using the exclusive IGBT module and control circuit constituted with DSP and CPLD and it has an input filter, overvoltage protection circuit and commutation means for overcoming practical issues. The good results tested using an induction motor are also presented.

Matrix converters have been studied for eliminating dc link of conventional converter-inverter system, and various undulation strategy have been proposed. Therefore, matrix converter have no energy storage component except for small ac later for the elimination of switching ripple, and can be made compact and highly reliable compare with the do link inverter system. Matrix converter, however, directly connected the input and the output terminals by bidirectional static switch. As a result if the input voltage are asymmetrical, and contain harmonics, the influence of the distortions directly appear on the output terminal. This problem is a major obstacle to the matrix converter. A new control method using average comparison strategy have been proposed in this paper. This control method realizes sinusoidal input and output current unity input displacement factor regardless of load power factor. Moreover, compensation of the asymmetrical and/or harmonic containing input voltage is automatically realized, and calculation time of control function is reduced.

This paper investigates operating characteristics of three-phase matrix converter with unity input power factor by direct duty-ratio pulse-width modulation in the case of balanced and unbalanced load. It can be found from the system analysis that (1) The control algorithm for unity power factor is not related to the variables of load sides but the input voltages, (2) With the balanced three-phase load except for the pure reactive load, the unity input power factor can be achieved, (3) In the case of the unbalanced linear load, the equivalent input characteristics of the matrix converter can be seen like the nonlinear resister, (4) When the input frequency and the output frequency have the specific relationship, each input phases have the same sharing of the average power. The feasibility and validity of the analysis were verified by simulation and experimental results.
