Abstract

It is very important to design the input filter optimally in matrix converters. But, the input power factor is deteriorated in spite of the optimal filter design due to the existence of inductor and capacitor included in the filter, and it is hard to keep high power factor in the whole operating range which is one of the major advantages of the matrix converters because the power factor is changed according to the output frequency and the load current. In this paper, we introduce the new space vector modulation method which can preserve the input power factor almost unity even though the output load or the output frequency is varied. It is also presented how to implement the proposed method effectively.

매트릭스 컨버터에서 입력필터의 최적설계는 대단히 중요하다. 그러나 입력필터에 포함된 인덕턴스와 커패시턴스 성분으로 인해 입력 역률이 저하되고 최적 필터 설계에도 불구하고 출력 주파수와 부하에 따라 역률이 바뀌게 되므로 운전조건이 변하면 매트릭스 컨버터의 장점 가운데 하나인 높은 역률을 유지하는 것이 힘들게 된다. 본 논문에서는 매트릭스 컨버터에서 입력필터를 사용할 경우 부하나 출력 주파수가 변동하더라도 입력 역률을 거의 1로 유지할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 공간벡터변조기법을 제안하고 이를 구현할 수 있는 방법을 제시했다.
