“…There is serious issues related to the control of four quadrant switches; neither dead-time nor conduction overlap is allowed once the two switches commutate the inductive load current. In matrix converter, there is no free-wheel paths, so the load current have to be compelled to be safely commutated with numerous methods [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Another issues associated with commutation problem is the finite switching times and propagation delays of devices when using the semiconductor switches resulting with possible short circuit.…”

<span>Single-Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) is an advanced circuit topology that offer advantages such as the capability to regenerate energy back to the input, sinusoidal input and output current and a manageable input current displacement factor. By considering the opportunity of an advanced SPMC topology, further exploration on DC to DC operation is proposed. The four-quadrant operation of switching algorithm was developed to control the SPMC circuit. The voltage and current profile of each quadrant was investigated to validate the proposed switching control algorithm. As part of four quadrants DC to DC operation, the safe commutation switching algorithm was also developed in order to solve the commutation problem due to the used of an inductive load. The pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques was utilized to synthesize the output of the proposed converter. Results from MATLAB/Simulink are presented to validate the proposed circuit operation.</span>

“…Reference [12], entitled "A Modular AC-DC Power Converter with Zero Voltage Transition for Electric Vehicles", by Ramirez-Hernandez et al, from Mexico and Chile, presented a study of the fundamental of operation of a three-phase AC-DC power converter that uses zero-voltage transition (ZVT) together with space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM). The proposed converter was basically an active rectifier divided into two converters: a matrix converter and an H bridge, which transfer energy through a high-frequency transformer, resulting in a modular AC-DC wireless converter appropriate for plug-in EVs (PEVs).…”

Large-Signal Stabilization of Three-Phase VSR with Constant Power Load

Abstract:As an important interface converter, the three-phase voltage-source rectifier (VSR) connects the grid to DC-input converters. The constant power load (CPL) characteristic of the converter-load often causes large-signal stability problems. In order to solve this problem, the stability boundary of the VSR with CPL is analyzed based on the mixed potential theory, and the stability condition under large-signal disturbance is obtained; thus, the jump range of the load power can be estimated. To improve the stability of the system, a voltage loop control scheme based on ADRC is proposed. A theoretical analysis based on the mixed potential theory shows the proposed scheme expands the power jump range of the VSR with CPL effectively, and improves its disturbance rejection performance. Finally, experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
