But the explanation of matrix converter operation is complex, and so is the control methodology. In this paper a 3-phase to 3-phase matrix converter is explained from the point of view of multi-level inverter topology. The matrix converter is represented as a three-level inverter and a switching cycle average model of the converter is presented. A simplified carrier-based modulation scheme is proposed where the need for sector information and corresponding look-up tables is avoided. The theoretical maximum output to input voltage transfer ratio of 0.866 is attained when the input power factor is unity. The voltage transfer-ratio is increased at the expense of low frequency harmonic distortion in the output voltages and input currents, by operating the converter in the over-modulation mode. Both input-side over-modulation and output-side over-modulation are analyzed and their limits of operation are derived. The voltage transfer-ratio is found to be 0.95 with output-side over-modulation and 0.908 with input-side over-modulation. Theoretical calculations of the maximum output voltages in the linear and over-modulation modes presented in the paper are supported by simulation results.","PeriodicalId":91410,"journal":{"name":"Summer Computer Simulation Conference : (SCSC 2014) : 2014 Summer Simulation Multi-Conference : Monterey, California, USA, 6-10 July 2014.

In combining effects, we deicide an effect of each causal relation using effects ratio and sum all effects.

Recently, there are various proposals on tool for multi agent simulation. However, in every simulation tool, analysts who don't have programming skill spend a lot of time to develop programs because notation of simulation models is not defined sufficiently and programming language is different by tools. So, we propose a programming environment which defines the notation of simulation model based on graph representation and enables analysts to develop programs more efficiently by using ease-of-use interface. Analysts get easier to develop programs by automatically generating program codes of multi agent simulation tool. Moreover, when analysts have to set orders of calculation in programming codes, this programming environment supports setting order of calculation which cannot be derived from structural information of simulation model. We execute the experiment that two examinee write and modify a program code. The experimental result shows the time of program coding by this programming environment is shorter than the time by text editor.","PeriodicalId":91410,"journal":{"name":"Summer Computer Simulation Conference : (SCSC 2014) : 2014 Summer Simulation Multi-Conference : Monterey, California, USA, 6-10 July 2014.

This yields stability criteria that provide information about permissible step lengths and system parameters. For the purposes of this analysis a number of simplifying assumptions are made. It is assumed that the system is divided into two regions, that the differential equations are linear and that a zero-order hold is used in communicating data between segments.","PeriodicalId":91410,"journal":{"name":"Summer Computer Simulation Conference : (SCSC 2014) : 2014 Summer Simulation Multi-Conference : Monterey, California, USA, 6-10 July 2014.

This work emphasizes modeling, simulation, rapid prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing as the key stages in the proposed design process. These stages are accomplished in the given application example through the use of real-time simulation platforms in combination with rapid prototyping hardware.
