Abstract-This paper presents a new control method for Indirect Matrix Converter operating under unbalanced grid voltages. The proposed method aims to achieve balanced output voltages as well as a near unity input power factor operation. First, an opportune reference current accurately generated, and a proportional integral resonant controller are designed in a dq reference frame that is synchronized with the positive sequence of the grid voltages so as to achieve a perfect tracking of input reactive power reference. Then, a real-time estimator of the virtual dc-link voltage is developed with the aim to provide balanced output voltages; therefore an almost constant active power free of low frequency ripple is supplied from the grid. Experimental results are presented to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control method.

This paper proposes a real-time DSP-and FPGAbased implementation method of a space vector modulation (SVM) algorithm for an indirect matrix converter (IMC). Therefore, low-cost and compact control platform is built using a 32-bit fixed-point DSP (TMS320F2812) operating at 150 MHz and a SPARTAN 3E FPGA operating at 50 MHz. The method consists in using the event-manager modules of the DSP to build specified pulses at its PWM output peripherals, which are fed to the digital input ports of a FPGA. Moreover, a simple logical processing and delay times are thereafter implemented in the FPGA so as to synthesize the suitable gate pulse patterns for the semiconductorcontrolled devices. It is shown that the proposed implementation method enables high switching frequency operation with high pulse resolution as well as a negligible propagation time for the generation of the gating pulses. Experimental results from an IMC prototype confirm the practical feasibility of the proposed technique.

This study proposes an efficient field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation method of an enhanced space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) algorithm for a delta inverter. The overall hardware configuration of the FPGA is made graphically using the high-level Xilinx system generator (XSG) programming tools. The proposed descriptive XSG model is first evaluated by running a hardware co-simulation test. The comparative study with computer simulations performed with Simulink shows a good agreement between the results of both methods, which approves the accuracy of the proposed descriptive XSG model. Moreover, an experimental test is carried out on a laboratory prototype of the delta inverter feeding an induction machine. The obtained high quality of the load currents confirms the feasibility of the proposed enhanced SVPWM algorithm and the effectiveness of its implementation method on FPGA.

Abstract-this paper proposes a hybrid modulation method for a dual-output five-leg indirect matrix converter topology. The proposed control technique combines a space vector modulation scheme (SVPWM) applied to the rectifier stage so as to control the input currents and a new digital scalar modulation scheme (DSPWM) designed to control the two loads output voltages. A generalized expression of the output voltage references is also developed showing the capability of the proposed method to control more than two independent loads without requiring additional mathematical development. Furthermore, a new modified expression of the output voltages references is proposed to enable the correct operation of the converter under unbalanced grid voltages. Also, the paper proposes a detailed mathematical analysis that allows evaluating the effect of output loads unbalances on the input current harmonic content. Simulation and experimental results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical investigations and confirm the capability of the proposed method to control multiple drive systems as well as ac input currents.Index Terms-ac/ac conversion, carrier-based pulse width modulation (SPWM), dual-output converter, faulttolerant operation, grid-connected converters, load unbalance, matrix converters, multi-drive systems, scalar modulation, space vector modulation (SVPWM), unbalanced grid voltages.

A new state-space modeling of a three-phase AC/AC matrix converter is presented. The main objective of tbis paper is the design of a sliding mode controller for both controlling the output voltage and input current The sliding mode strategy is based on the determination of the sliding surfaces and switching laws allowing to choose an appropriate space vector pattern. Robustness regarding line voltage and load parameters variations of this control technique has heen recorded by using simulation results on matlab.
