Indirect Space Vector Modulation for Matrix Converter

Matrix converters (MCs) have become a popular research topic in the last decade due to their potential to provide amplitude and frequency conversion, bidirectional power flow and input displacement factor control, all in a single-stage converter (SSC). These converters are capable of transforming both voltage and frequency simultaneously and can be used in multi-phase systems. However, despite their advantages, matrix converters are not commonly used in commercial applications. There are several reasons for this lack of adoption. study provides a comprehensive analysis of the various aspects of MC topologies, including the principles of bi-directional switch, modulation techniques, input filter design, and protection issues. MC are still highly appealing for certain applications despite their mentioned drawbacks. This is due to the need to avoid energy storage elements like capacitors and inductors, the cost of power semiconductors continuing to decrease, and the MC's ability to be cost competitive while offering bidirectional flow capability and displacement factor control for regeneration requirements. The MC utilizes two types of space vector modulation methods: direct space vector modulation (DSVM) and indirect space vector modulation (ISVM) strategy. This paper focuses exclusively on the examination of the ISVM strategy and its implementation through the use of the MATLAB/Simulink area.
