This paper presents a control strategy to achieve the balanced sinusoidal output currents, as well as sinusoidal input currents for the matrix converter (MC) under unbalanced input voltages. By regulating the modulation index of the converter according to the instantaneous input voltages, the output currents are kept balanced and sinusoidal. In order to obtain sinusoidal input currents, the input power factor angle should be dynamically calculated based on the positive and negative sequence components of the input voltages. This paper proposes a simple method to construct the expected input power factor angle without the complicated sequence component extraction of input voltages. Simulation results are given to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

In this paper, a single phase matrix converter circuit with novel commutation technique is proposed. With commercial IGBT modules, the proposed converter is quite compact in structure and easy to build. The applied commutation strategy introduces a simple RC circuit as commutation aid without need for sensing information, leading to stable and reliable operation. The modulation method is explained; the detailed commutation procedure is illustrated. Finally, the simulation results show the validity and verification of the proposed single phase matrix converter.

This paper presents a soft-switching technique of single-stage power conversion Matrix Converter of AC-AC converters. Conventional hard-switching method is limited to operate at low switching frequency due to increased switching loss. In this paper, by additional auxiliary switch circuits, it is shown that the main switch of the matrix converter operate as a zero-voltage switches, and the auxiliary switch operate as a zero current switch. Finally, the soft-switching technique with auxiliary switches is compared with conventional hard-switching technique, and Is analyzed by simulation.

A new type of single-phase Z-source AC/AC converter based on a single-phase matrix converter is proposed in this paper. The proposed single-phase Z-source AC/AC converter has unique features; namely that the output voltage can be bucked and in-phase/out-of-phase with the input voltage; that the output voltage can be boosted and in-phase/out-of-phase with the input voltage. The converter employs a safe-commutation strategy to conduct along a continuous current path, which results in the elimination of voltage spikes on switches without the need for a snubber circuit. The operating principles of the proposed single-phase Z-source AC/AC converter are described, and a circuit analysis is provided. To verify the performance of the proposed converter, a laboratory prototype based on a TMS320F2812 DSP was constructed. The simulation and the experimental results verified that the output voltage can be bucked-boosted and in-phase with the input voltage, and that the output voltage can be bucked-boosted and out-of-phase with the input voltage.

This paper proposes a weighting factor optimization method in predictive control algorithm for torque ripple reduction in an induction motor fed by an indirect matrix converter (IMC). In this paper, the torque ripple behavior is analyzed to validate the proposed weighting factor optimization method in the predictive control platform and shows the effectiveness of the system. Therefore, an optimization method is adopted here to calculate the optimum weighting factor corresponds to minimum torque ripple and is compared with the results of conventional weighting factor based predictive control algorithm. The predictive control algorithm selects the optimum switching state that minimizes a cost function based on optimized weighting factor to actuate the indirect matrix converter. The conventional and introduced weighting factor optimization method in predictive control algorithm are validated through simulations and experimental validation in DS1104 R&D controller platform and show the potential control, tracking of variables with their respective references and consequently reduces the torque ripple.

This paper proposes a cost-effective topology to drive a three-phase open-end load based on a five-leg indirect matrix converter (IMC) and a space vector modulation (SVM) method. By sharing an inverter leg with two load terminals, the proposed topology can reduce the number of power switches when compared to topologies based on a direct matrix converter or a six-leg IMC. The new SVM method uses only the active vectors that do not produce common-mode voltage (CMV), which results in zero CMV across the load phase and significantly reduces the peak value of the CMV at the load terminal. Furthermore, the proposed drive system can increase the voltage transfer ratio up to 1.5 and provide a superior performance in terms of an output line-to-line voltage with a three-level pulse-width modulation waveform. Simulation and experimental results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed topology and the new SVM method.

This paper proposes the modulation and control of a three-to-six-phase matrix converter with an asymmetrical six-phase output. The matrix converter (MC) outputs consist of two sets of three-phase spatially shifted by $30^0$, where the two sets have two isolated neutrals. The space vector approach is considered for the modeling and subsequent modulation of the three-to-six phase MC. The intelligent selection of voltage space vectors is made to synthesize the reference voltages and to obtain a sinusoidal output. The dwell times of selected voltage space vectors are adjusted in such a way that the effect of the second and the third auxiliary plane vectors (i.e., x1-y1, and x2-y2) are nullified. To achieve the maximum output voltage gain and to ensure that no reactive power is drawn from the utility supply, the input side power factor is maintained at unity. Nevertheless, the source side power factor is controllable. The modulation technique is implemented in dSPACE working in conjunction with a FPGA. Hardware results that validate the proposed control algorithm are discussed.

본 논문은 단위 역률을 갖도록 직접 시비율 펄스폭 변조 방식으로 제어되는 3상 매트릭스 컨버터의 평형 및 불평형 부하시의 동작 특성을 고찰한다. 시스템의 해석으로부터 얻어진 중요하고 유용한 사실을 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 단위 역률 제어 알고리즘은 부하측의 변수에 의해서가 아니라 입력전압에 의하여 정해진다. (2) 평형 3상 부하가 리액티브 부하인 경우만 아니라면 입력측 역률을 1로 만들 수 있다. (3) 불평형 선형부하의 경우, 매트릭스 컨버터의 등가입력 특성은 비선형저항과 같다. (4) 입력 주파수와 출력 주파수가 특정한 관계를 가질 때, 입력측의 각상은 동일한 평균전력 분담률을 갖는다. 해석의 타당성과 유효성은 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통하여 검증하였다.

종래의 컨버터-인버터 전력변환 시스템에서 do-link를 제거하여 보다 효과적인 인버터를 만들기 위하여 매트릭스 컨버터에 관하여 연구를 하고자 한다. 따라서 매트릭스 컨버터는 에너지를 저장하는 능동소자를 갖지 않는 장점이 있으나 전원이 스위치를 통하여 직접 부하에 연결되므로 전원의 리플과 노이즈가 그대로 부하에 전달되는 결점을 갖는다. 매트릭스 컨버터는 전원을 부하에 대하여 정현적으로 스위칭해야 되며, 한편 이러한 노이즈를 제거 및 보상하는 특성과 함께 역율문제도 함께 해결해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 종래의 제시된 방법에 비하여 제어어시간을 단축시킨 제어함수를 제시한다. 제시된 제어함수는 전원에 포함된 리플과 노이즈를 스위칭하는 과정에서 자동으로 보상하며 역율 1이되게 스위칭한다. 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험결과를 함께 제시한다.

This paper deals with a new single-phase Z-source matrix converter (SZMC) topology. Unlike other conventional configurations, the proposed SZMC is not only a step-up frequency converter but also a step-down frequency converter and a voltage boost capability. Thus, the proposed SZMC is also called a frequency step-up/down and voltage step-up converter. A safe-commutation strategy is used in SZMC as free-wheeling operation to eliminate voltage spikes on switches. The operating principles and experimental results of the proposed SZMC are presented.
