Abstract
The matrix converter is a single-stage ac-ac power conversion device without dc-link energy storage elements. Any disturbance in the input voltages will be immediately reflected to the output voltages. In this paper, a modified space vector modulation strategy for matrix converter has been presented under the abnormal input-voltage conditions, in terms of unbalance, nonsinusoid, and surge (sudden rising or sudden dropping). By using the instantaneous magnitude and phase of input-voltage vector to calculate the voltage modulation index and input-current phase angle, this modified modulation strategy can eliminate the influence of the abnormal input voltages on output side without an additional control circuit, and three-phase sinusoidal symmetrical voltages or currents can be obtained under normal and abnormal input-voltage conditions. The performance of the input currents is analyzed when the matrix converter uses different modulation strategies. Some numerical simulations are presented to confirm the analytical results. Tests are carried out on a 5.5-kW matrix converter prototype. Experimental results verify the validity of the proposed strategy.
