Abstract

This paper presents a review of the recent advances in matrix converter topologies used with the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) in wind power generation systems. Dedicated literatures introduce different topologies inspired by the conventional matrix converter. Two-stage matrix converters known as sparse matrix converters are compared to the conventional matrix converter in terms of implementation complexity, cost, power rating and voltage ratio. Single-phase matrix converters topologies are implemented in high power wind applications in two different modular concepts: the reduced matrix concept for offshore wind farms and the multi-modular high power matrix converter. On the other hand, several modulation techniques applied to the matrix converter-PMSG scheme are briefly presented.
