Abstract--Power electronic converter-fed high performance AC drives belong to high-tech industry and are one of main factors for energy saving and productivity growth. This paper reviews present state and trends in development of key parts of controlled induction motor drive systems: converter topologies, modulation methods, as well as control and estimation techniques. Following topologies are described: Two-and Multi-level Voltage Source Converters, Current Source Converters and Direct Converters. Among the modulation techniques are briefly presented: conventional bipolar and unipolar PWM, space vector modulation (SVM) with extension for multilevel converters, harmonic control techniques, variable frequency modulation (hysteresis, nearest level, and model predictive techniques). About the control strategies, the generic torque control methods are described in two groups: linear and nonlinear controllers. In linear group are presented field oriented control (FOC), direct torque control (DTC) with voltage SVM, and DTC with flux vector modulation (DTC-FVM). The group of nonlinear control include: classical switching table based hysteresis DTC, direct self control (DSC) and predictive DTC scheme. Also, selected simple flux vector observers/estimators are discussed.

“…Wheeler et al investigated in 1994 the relative cost of two different input filter topologies for MCs (166) and suggested in 1997 an optimized input filter design for MCs using a one-stage LC input filter with harmonic diversion (167) . In 2002, Bernet et al computed the total conducted noise of a CMC and compared it with the results for a corresponding VSC (168) . One year later, Cha and Enjeti suggested a novel modulation method for MCs to reduce the generated common mode voltage (169) .…”

The Matrix Converter (MC) evolved from the forced commutated cycloconverters and has been extensively investigated for more than thirty years. In this publication, the milestones in research on MCs in academia and industry are reviewed and presented chronologically and thematically ordered. The major contributions in the fundamental topic areas such as the development of the topology, topological extensions, commutation, modulation, loss calculation, control, or filtering and EMC are compiled and then expanded with examples of the latest activities in the corresponding field of research. In addition, an overview of the publicly reported research on MCs in industry is provided and the development of the commercialized MCs is briefly summarized. This review concludes with a brief comparison of the MC with the voltage source converter and a discussion of the current status of the MC technology and its future potential.

“…However to achieve good dynamics, reasonable costs, weight and losses, the inductance should be around or less then 0.1 pu in real realization. For the IEEE 519-1992 limitations and the assumption that i ripple,peak not exceeds 10% (2.3A) the converter side, inductance L1, implemented with iron powder core, can be calculated to be [16]:…”

Abstract. This paper proposes a simple direct power control using space vector modulation (DPC-SVM) for three-phase threelevel neutral point clamped (3L-NPC) PWM converter connecting a wind turbine generator with grid. The active and reactive power are used as the control variables instead of the currents applied in conventional control method. Moreover, grid voltage sensors are replaced by a virtual flux (VF) estimator. The theoretical principle of this method as well as the synthesis of the active and reactive power controllers are discussed. It is shown that the proposed method exhibits several features as: simple and robust algorithm as well as simple tuning procedure of PI power controllers. Furthermore the paper presents a LCL-filter design, which fulfils IEEE-SCR 20-50 recommendation. Simulation results have proven an excellent performance and verified the validity of the proposed system.
