Implementation of Three-Phase AC-to-DC Matrix Rectifiers Using Space Vector Modulation: A Review

Abstract

Matrix converter is a versatile scheme consisting of controlled semiconductor devices that has a command in delivering input of constant amplitude and frequency to the output of three phase with adjustable amplitude and frequency and it is able to produce multiple output frequencies with single input frequency. In the recent trends of power electronics, the use of these converters is increased vastly due to its versatile behaviour. During the past years the utilization of these converters are increased rapidly as they have several applications in industries. This paper presents the literature assessments of matrix converter and configurations discussed in the early stages of research. Also, the performance indices like power factor improvement, harmonic content in the output voltage, absence of energy storage elements and DC link between input and output stages of the system has been clearly discussed.
