Abstract

As a renewable power source, wind power generation has been research interest for many years. And power electronic converters have been developed and applied in variable speed wind turbines. This paper presents the basic development and implementation of space-vector modulated three phase AC-AC matrix converter for variable speed wind power system. Basic matrix converter operation is described, where a new bidirectional switch structure with commutation circuit is used. Finally, experiment results of basic converter operation are shown.
