Study and Analysis of the (SVM) Techniques for an Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC)

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study and analysis of the indirect matrix converter (IMC), feeding a passive load (RL). The indirect matrix converter is composed by two modules (rectifier and inverter). The space vector modulation (SVM) technique is used to control the indirect matrix converter. The simulation results of the input voltage and current waveforms are visualized and the input current THD is presented. During the simulation, we used an input current filter and we were created a variation of the load. The waveforms of the voltages, the currents and the active and reactive powers are visualized, and an analysis of the results obtained is carried out. Finally, several simulations of the converter have been realized for different output frequency values while maintaining a fixed output power factor. THDs are analyzed for currents and voltages with and without an input filter.
