The matrix converter is an AC-to-AC direct power conversion system that can generate variable voltage variable frequency output. There is a topology of Matrix converter having sinusoidal waveforms using output LC filter. It enabled that to provide lower EMI, lower common-mode current, and lower shaft voltage. However, there are some problems that filter size become bulky because of the restriction...
Due to the nonlinearity of DC-DC converters, small-signal methods do not guarantee the stability of DC-DC converters under any large-signal disturbances. In this paper, semi-tensor product of matrices with Lyapunov stability theorem is firstly adopted for analyzing the large-signal stability of DC-DC converters. A buck converter with proportional-integral (PI) controller is used as an example. Based...
In this paper reduction of common mode voltage (CMV) for five phases open end load system is discussed. Open end load is fed through three-to-five phases dual matrix converters (DMC). Space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) technique is used for the modulation of the DMC which is assumed to have two stages rectification and inversion. Their controls are separate and independent of each other....
In this paper the effect of secondary controller on voltage regulation in dc Micro-Grids (MGs) is studied. Basically, centralized or decentralized secondary controller has been employed to regulate the voltage drop raised by the primary controller. However, in the case of high capacity MGs and long feeders with much voltage drop on the line resistances, the conventional methods may not guarantee the...
This paper presents a carrier-based modulation strategy for 3×1-modular matrix converters (MC) to achieve zero common mode voltage (CMV). A geometric method is introduced to determine the range of the modulation signals. Due to the nonzero CMV during the commutation time with the traditional four-step current-based commutation method, a modified four-step current-based commutation method is presented...
This paper compares four different commutation strategies for a new monolithic dual-gate bidirectional IGBT (BD-IGBT) in matrix converters. A new variable-timing four-step commutation and an one-step commutation control strategies are proposed and compared with the conventional and the two-level four-step commutation methods reported previously. Operation modes and power losses of the BD-IGBT using...
The matrix converter rectifier is an AC-to-DC converter that can be considered for emerging applications, related to smart grids and renewable energy production. The most attractive characteristics of this converter are the simultaneous control of the input power factor and the output voltage, and the small volume of the input capacitors. In this paper, after a small review of the modulation techniques,...
This paper presents an experimental comparison between a Direct Matrix Converter and an Indirect Matrix Converter in terms of semiconductor devices thermal cycling. Both converters have been designed and built using SiC MOSFETs; the Indirect Matrix Converter has also been tested using a hybrid solution with Silicon IGBT on the input stage and SiC MOSFETs on the output stage.
This paper proposes an error-voltage based open-switch fault diagnosis strategy for matrix converter (MC). First, finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC) method is used to operate the MC. Meanwhile, based on the analysis of the operating state under fault condition, the fault model of MC is established. Second, the fault diagnosis strategy is implemented in three steps: to begin with,...
A modular multilevel matrix converter (MMMxC) has nine arms and each of the arms is composed of H-bridge cells connected in cascade. It can be applied to high voltage ac-ac converters for variable speed wind turbines and motor drives. In this paper, employment of a hierarchical control system for the MMMxC is first considered to distribute computational burden among processors and simplify hardware...
The indirect matrix converters (IMC) offer the advantages of high reliability and compactness in structure due to no large energy storage components in virtual DC side, and thus have a promising application in the future. However, the LC resonance caused by input filter is one reason keeps it from being utilized in industry. Different from pervious solutions of LC resonance damping for single IMC,...
Voltage source inverters (VSIs) are used in electric drives to generate a variable frequency, variable amplitude voltage for motor control. In addition to the desired three-phase output voltage, VSIs also generate high-frequency common-mode voltage that causes shaft voltage and stray currents; that in turn cause EMI and motor failure. VSIs also need a stable DC voltage input that is generated from...

The proposed PWM technique has the ability to control the input DC current and to inject a sinusoidal three-phase current to the grid at unity power factor. In the first stage, an H-bridge converter is used to convert the DC voltage to a high-frequency...
This paper presents a novel unipolar SPWM-oriented modulation for the isolated bi-directional DC-to-three-phase-AC converter with high-frequency-link (HFL) using SiC MOSFETs. The converter consists of a full bridge (FB) stage and a single-to-three-phase matrix converter with high frequency transformer isolation. Under the proposed modulation, zero voltage switching (ZVS) is realized for the full bridge...
Conventional line-frequency transformers are a key element in the current power transmission system. Although they are a relatively cheap and well established technology, they are not able to provide new functionalities demanded by the power system operator. Solid State Transformers (SSTs), also called Power Electronic Transformers (PETs) are power electronics-based arrangements able to provide, in...
Finite States Model Predictive Control (MPC) has been recently applied to several converters topologies for the many advantages it can provide such as fast dynamics, multi-target control capabilities, easy implementation on digital control board and capability of including constraints in the control law. However, its variable switching frequency and lower steady state waveform quality, with respect...
This paper presents a generalised control that can be applied to a class of modular multilevel converter topologies. The approach splits up into current control based on the state-space representation and branch energy balancing. For the branch energy balancing, an optimisation process leading to minimal additional current stress is presented. After describing the control approach independently from...
