Comparative analysis of matrix converter drives on three phase induction motor

Abstract

Matrix converter is a powerful ACAC converter for the application of induction motor drives with sinusoidal input currents and no DC-link capacitor. It offers remarkable advantages over other alternatives in applications requiring improved utility interaction and critical weight/volume reduction. This paper presents a performance analysis of the direct and indirect control techniques of matrix converter. As comparison criterion of the different strategies that the Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the efficiency of the converter and their modulation techniques for the implementation of the strategies. The feasibility of the proposed technique has been verified from simulation and the output voltage and the input current generated by the model of converter.
