The aim of this paper is to describe work involved in investigations on the implementation of single phase matrix converter (SPMC) as an AC-AC converter subjected to passive load conditions. The successful implementation of the SPMC had been conceived, designed and realized by synthesizing the output using the well known sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique with IGBTs as power swi...

a few papers have been interested by the fixed switching frequency direct torque control fed by direct matrix converters, where we can find just the use of direct torque controlled space vector modulated method. In this present paper, we present an improved method used for a fixed switching frequency direct torque control (DTC) using a direct matrix converter (DMC). This method is characterized...

The matrix converter has many advantages in wind power system applications. Matrix converter is compact and highly efficient because it directly converts generated power from AC generator to AC grid without intermediate DC bus while conventional back-to-back converter systems requires many electrolytic capacitors in DC link bus which are bulky and have short life-time. Matrix converter has both...

Abstract: A three-phase to single-phase matrix converter is investigated in the present paper. Based on the state matrix vector, a mathematical analysis of the converter is performed giving the relation between the sinusoidal line voltage (current) and the output voltage (current). The results of the investigation are confirmed using computer simulation of the converter by the program product C...

Solid-state transformer (SST); Medium frequency transformer; AC/AC converter; Matrix converter Abstract This paper presents a novel topology of solid-state transformer (SST). In the design process, the AC/DC, DC/AC and AC/AC converters have been integrated to achieve higher efficiency. To obtain higher efficiency from other SST with DC-link topologies, the AC/DC and DC/AC converters have been i...
