The continuous popularity of the research in the area of the matrix converter control theory has been supported by steady technological improvements. It is still common to use discrete semiconductor switches in an anti-serial connection, even though some integrated solutions have been presented by various vendors already. Furthermore, recently experimental all-in-one matrix converter power modu...

This Paper focused on Buck/Boost Rectification by Single Phase Matrix Converter with fewer numbers of switches. The conventional matrix converter consists of 4 bidirectional switches, i.e. 8 set of IGBT/MOSFET with anti parallel diodes. In this proposed matrix converter, only six switches are used. The switch commutation arrangements are also carried out in this work. The gate pulses to the swi...

This paper presents a new method to compensate the nonlinearity for matrix converter drives using disturbance observer. The nonlinearity of matrix converter drives such as commutation delay, turn-on and turn-off time of switching device, and on-state switching device voltage drop is modeled by disturbance observer and compensated. The proposed method does not need any additional hardware and of...

This paper proposes a matrix converter based unified power quality conditioner (MC–UPQC) for mitigating power quality problems. This proposed system is a combination of unified power quality conditioner and matrix converter. The UPQC is a combination of back-toback connected series and shunt active filters through a dclink. Voltage disturbances and harmonics are compensated by series active fil...

This chapter aims to give a general description of the basic features of a three phase to three phase matrix converter in terms of performance and of technological issues. This chapter does not require to the reader a special knowledge of the matrix converter technology. It is worth noting that the three phase to three phase configuration is just one of the possible direct AC-AC converter topol...

Abstract— This paper proposes a new type of converter called Single Phase Z-source Matrix Converter (SPZMC). The SPZMC is an ac-to-ac converter device. Simulated using diode bridge bidirectional switch cell. The simulation is performed in different loads with fixed input and variable output frequency. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) switching strategy is used to obtain the variable frequency. The ...

The conventional AC/AC matrix converter uses 9 bidirectional switches. The 3×3 switches give 512 combinations of switching states, which are decreased to only 27 feasible states, if the two basic rules (preventing the short-circuit and open-circuit) to operate the converters safely are applied. The output voltage of a basic matrix converter is limited to 866 . 0 2 3 ≈ of the input voltage. In t...

The matrix converter (MC) for motor drive applications and energy conversion systems is steadily increasing due to its main advantage of performing a direct coupling between two three-phase alternating current sources without the need of an intermediate direct current bus. The input filters characteristics design for matrix converter system: to reduce the high harmonic components at the main po...
