Equalization Technique for Balancing the Modulation Ratio Characteristics of the Single-Phase-to-Three-Phase Matrix Converter

Abstract

Three-phase system has numerous advantages over the single-phase system in terms of instantaneous power, stability, and cost. Three-phase systems are not available in every location particularly in remote rural areas, hill stations, low voltage distribution homes, and so forth. Having a system that is capable of converting directly the readily available single-phase system to three phases will have greater usability in various applications. The routine techniques adopted in the direct ac-ac single-phase-to-three-phase converters do not yield the best desired outputs because of their complexity in the segregation process and bidirectional nature of the input signal. Other initiatives use ac-dc-ac converters which are huge and costly due to dc link energy storage devices. Further, none of these systems provide a convincing result in producing the standard three-phase output voltages that are 120° away from each other. This paper proposes an effective direct ac-ac single-phase-to-three-phase conversion technique based on space vector pulse width modulation based matrix converter system that produces a convincing three-phase output signals from a single-phase source with balanced modulation index characteristics. The details of the scientific programming adopted on the proposed technique were presented.

Energy Management Opportunities Through Energy Efficiency Retrofit for Hostel Building

“…Energy efficiency technologies are implemented in various sectors such as construction, industries, transport and health science and telemedicine etc [8]. Energy storage devices are also being introduced [9] [10]. The preliminary audit and the measurement of readings were conducted for a week in all 4 floors to observe and analyse the usage of energy by individual rooms.…”

Maximization of Transfer Ratio and Minimization of Harmonics in Three Phase AC/AC Matrix Converter

“…Matrix converters are used to convert three phase AC input voltages to three phase AC output voltages of required magnitude and frequency [1,2]. In matrix converter, the basic component is a bidirectional switch.…”
