Description
Summary:This paper discusses three methods of modulation for a single-phase isolated matrix converter. The matrix converter is combined with a transformer integration to perform power decoupling control in order to reduce the number of component and capacitor volumes. Due to the reason of (i) Alternating current (AC/AC) direct conversion and (ii) transformer integration, obtaining a clean sinusoidal grid current waveform in the modulation of matrix converter (MC) is important. Three methods of modulation are compared in terms of control complexity, quality waveform, and inductive-capacitive-inductive (LCL) filter sizing. The principal control of each method is described. Finally, a prototype was tested to verify the validity and the effectiveness of grid current control and power decoupling in the spoken circuit structure.
