Research on matrix converter based on space vector modulation

Abstract

In this study, we study the control strategy for matrix converter. Through absorbing ideas about virtual rectification put forward by P.D.Ziogas, the common control idea of AC-DC-AC convertor is introduced into control of matrix converter; SPWM modulation strategy and space vector modulation strategy for matrix converter are studied respectively. In terms of SPWM modulation strategy, it has some advantages: for example, main circuit structure is simple; control program is simple; control switch function does not need complex mathematical derivation and calculation. In terms of space vector modulation strategy, it has advantages as follows: the physical conception is clear; input power factor can be adjusted; output voltage and current sine degree are high. In this chapter, an in-depth analysis will be conducted for this control method. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2013.
