An Optimized Space-Vector Modulation Method for 3ϕ-3ϕ Matrix Converter

Abstract

An innovative optimized space vector modulation method (OSVM) for 3ϕ-3ϕ matrix converter is proposed in this paper. This modulation method maximizes the modulability of reference vectors. It is a direct modulation method. The solution of OSVM immediately tells the modulability of reference vectors. An efficient algorithm for OSVM is provided and tested through simulations. Comparison with the conventional SVM methods is performed. Simulation results show the validity and the performance of OSVM.
