Abstract
This paper presents a novel space vector modulation (SVM) method combined with a modified four-step commutation to achieve a perfect zero common-mode voltage (CMV) for matrix converters (MCs). The new SVM method was developed by using only rotating input voltage vectors, which results in the CMV for MCs being zero. However, it causes some noise in practical applications that drive MCs with traditional four-step commutation. In order to solve this noise problem, a modified four-step commutation is also proposed to perfectly eliminate the CMV for MCs without any noise. In the modified four-step commutation, a delay time is designed to deal with misjudgment of input voltages. The proposed SVM method and four-step commutation are easily implemented via software and achieve good performance in input/output current waveforms. Prototype experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.
