Abstract

Abstract: In this article, different matrix converter (MC) control strategies are comprehensively explained. Further, an ultra-modified space vector modulation (UMSVM) of the MC is proposed. The total harmonic distortion for both output voltage and current is reduced, when the proposed UMSVM technique is applied. Moreover, a modified indirect space vector modulation with feed forward controller (MISVMFC) of the MC is also proposed in order to obtain a fixed output voltage and frequency for different wind speeds. The advantages of the MC are introduced in this article. These advantages include the wide range of the output frequency of MC, which may be greater than the input frequency and the control of both the output voltage magnitude and input displacement factor (IDF). Extensive theoretical and simulation results about conventional and proposed control techniques for the MC are presented. Experimental test bench is constructed and several experimental results are obtained. The experimental results validate the simulation ones.
