An Integrated 30kW Matrix Converter based Induction Motor Drive

The Past, Present, and Future of Power Electronics Integration Technology in Motor Drives

“…Although there are very few commercial IMDs that have adopted such an ambitious approach, there are some researchers who have explored this IMD architecture. For example, a prototype version of an induction motor drive with a matrix converter built into the machine's end bell has been reported [40]. Nevertheless, the literature associated with this aggressive class of embedded IMDs is quite limited.…”

Control of a Direct Matrix Converter With Modulated Model-Predictive Control

“…1 constitutes a MC making it possible for bidirectional power flow. In the recent years, MCs have reached a good level of technological maturity that allows their practical and industrial implementation in a variety of applications, such as industrial drives [1][2], power supplies [3], aerospace applications [4][5][6][7]. MC is often known as an all silicon converter as there are no bulky and heavy energy storage devices [8].…”

Matrix Converter Interfaced PMSG Based Wind Energy Conversion System Controlled by Adaptive Fuzzy Control System

“…For instance, due to the absence of components with significant wear-out characteristics (such as electrolytic capacitors), the MC can potentially be very robust and reliable. The amount of space saved by an MC, when compared with a conventional back-to-back converter, has been estimated as a factor of three [15], [16]. Therefore, due to its small size, in some applications, the MC can be embedded in the machine itself [16].…”
