An indirect matrix converter (IMC) is a modern power generation system that enables a direct ac/ac conversion without the need for any bulky and limited lifetime electrolytic capacitor. This system also allows four-quadrant operation, generation of sinusoidal output voltage waveforms with variable frequency and amplitude, and control of input power factor. This study proposes a pulse-width modulation-based sliding-mode controller to achieve unity input-power factor operation of the IMC independently of the active power exchanged with the grid, as well as a fast dynamic response. The designed equivalent control law determines, at each sampling period, the appropriate q-axis component of the modulated input current to be injected into the grid through the LC input filter. An integral term of the error is included in the expression of the sliding surface to increase the accuracy of the control method. A double space vector modulation method is used to synthesize the direction of the space vector of the input currents as required by the sliding-mode controller and the space vectors of the target output voltages. Simulation and experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness and evaluate the performance of the proposed control method.

In this paper, pulse-width modulation (PWM) control strategy of various topologies of matrix converters is presented, which is based on direct duty ratio PWM (DDPWM). Because the DDPWM method has the characteristics of the inherent per-phase modular structure, it can be effectively applied to single-phase, two-phase and three-phase four-leg matrix converters as well as the common three-phase to three-phase matrix converter. Also, this paper treats command generation method in each matrix converter. The feasibility and validity of the proposed method are verified by experimental results.

In this paper, digital ultra-narrowband Walky-Talky using direct conversion method for CQPSK modulation scheme is implemented with satisfying the requirements of APCO P25. RF transceiver design and implementation scheme that minimize the influence of DC-offset and AC-coupling at ultra-narrowband is proposed. This scheme also minimizes the influence of nonlinear characteristic at power amplifier fir CQPSK modulation method. Test results of full system including DSP module and direct conversion RF transceiver show that FCC emission mask at 36.8 dBm PEP meets the standard requirements. The characteristic of receiver AGC by PWM control signal is linear at 40 dB dynamic range and voice communication at input power level of -116 dBm is successful. Also it is verified that the performance of BER versus frequency offset and versus SNR meets the standard requirements.

A novel predictive current control strategy for a sparse matrix converter is presented. The sparse matrix converter is functionally-equivalent to the direct matrix converter but has a reduced number of switches. The predictive current control uses a model of the system to predict the future value of the load current and generates the reference voltage vector that minimizes a given cost function so that space vector modulation is achieved. The results show that the proposed controller for sparse matrix converters controls the load current very effectively and performs very well through simulation and experimental results.

This paper describes the PWM cycloconverter which can provide step-up ac-ac direct conversion in a wide output frequency range. With input reactor and output capacitor. the input and output ports are exchanged. And sine PWM scheme is applied to the converter. To analyze the converter operation the state equations are derived using dq transformation. Simulated results show that both the output voltage and frequency can be controlled by adjusting the modulating functions.

In this paper, we propose a three-phase isolated electrolytic capacitorless charger available for quick charger. In the proposed charger, electrolytic capacitor in DC link is eliminated by direct conversion from AC input to DC output. Conventional chargers are two stage structure including AC-DC and DC-DC converters, but the proposed charger can be simplified into single stage converter by using a matrix converter. And the waveform of input currents is improved by giving the weighting factor to the duty ratio of auxiliary switches. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed charger, simulations are carried out and a 1.2kW charger was constructed and experimented.

Recently, as a solution to the problem of maintaining system reliability, stability, and quality occurring worldwide, such as activation of smart grid and recognition of super grid and rapid grid interconnection of renewable energy sources HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) will appear on the front of the electric power system. These concepts are also very important concepts in HVDC systems. When the HVDC system is linked to the existing power system, it is composed of AC/DC/AC conversion device, and these conversion devices are composed of many thyristors. These parts(Devices) are connected in a complicated manner, and they belong to the one with a higher failure rate. However, the problem of establishing the concept of failure rate of HVDC parts directly linked to economic efficiency and the understanding accompanying it are still insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we establish the meaning of reliability in power system and try to develop a model to analyze and verify the failure rate data of HVDC based on this.

The construction of a Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) is simple and also highly economical because a stator from the existing AC motor can be used. Since the synchronous inductance in the Synchronous Reluctance Motor is an element that is proportional to torque, its exact value must be experimentally or analytically found for accurate control and performance development of the motor. In this paper, direct torque control (DTC) simulation is carried out to maximize the torque of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor and the fast response characteristics with the inductance value by the Finite Element Method (FEM). The response characteristics are compared through the proposed direct torque control and torque response characteristics that are based on the existing PI Control in order to confirm the fast response features. To test the performance of the direct torque controller, the torque response is analyzed with variable speed and load condition.

The hydrogenolysis of cellulose into polyols was examined over Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ catalysts containing different Cs fractions. The surface area and Pt dispersion of Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ catalysts were found to increase with Cs content. Similar polyol yields were obtained over Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ catalysts irrespective of their Cs content. The catalytic activity of Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ was comparable to that of Ni/W/SBA-15 and combined catalytic systems such as Pt/AC+$H_3PW_{12}O_{40}$ and Pt/AC + $Cs_{3.0}PW_{12}O_{40}$. Some polyanion species were found to leach from the Pt/$Cs_xH_{3-x}PW_{12}O_{40}$ catalyst during the course of the reaction.
