The Research On Matrix Converter With Space Vector Modulation

Matrix Converter is a novel AC-to-AC power converter. Compared with the traditional power converter, it has a few advantages: the lack of DC -link , the ability of four quadrant operation, the excellent waveforms of input current and output voltage, variable power factor input current. Because of such advantages, Matrix converter will be prosperous in the future. In abroad, the research of it has developed for a few times. But in china, the research only has begun lately.The article brings forward the implementing methods of Matrix Converter with space vector modulation. At first, two simulation models for three-phase AC to AC are built by Matlab Simulink, which one model to test the control algorithm and the other to test the method. Then, the article introduces the designs of the experiment system and its hardware and its software. The tests show that the implementing method is feasible. Simulation models are good tools for the modulation and the experiment system is beneficial to the Matrix Converter's apply.
