This paper presents a new predictive current control (PCC) method to achieve the coordinate control of power and current of the matrix converter under unbalanced input voltages. In order to control the power fluctuation in the input side, the flexible source current reference is generated based on the positive-negative sequence components of the input voltage. The optimal switching state to adjust source and load currents is selected by minimization the cost function which is obtained from the sum of the absolute errors between the current references and their predictive values. Simulation results are given to validate the effectiveness of the proposed PCC method.

Input filter is an essential component in a practical matrix converter (MC) system to generate the sinusoidal input currents. However, the input filter causes a displacement angle between the input current of MC and the source current. In this paper, we investigate the input filter design for MCs by considering the displacement angles of the input current and the input voltage to guarantee high input power factor (IPF) operation as well as low input current harmonic contents. Simulation results are provided to validate the input filter design with near unity input power factor and low total harmonic distortion (THD) of the input current.

매트릭스 컨버터(Matrix Converter:MC)는 기본적으로 9개의 양방향 스위치를 이용한 전력변환장치이다. 입력 전압의 크기에 따라 일정 범위 내의 전압을 합성할 수 있으며, 다이오드 정류기를 이용하는 인버터에 비해 입력전류를 정현파로 만들 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 다수의 스위치를 이용하여 출력전압을 합성하기 때문에 제어가 복잡하다는 단점이 있으나, 반대로 여러 가지 방법으로 전압을 합성할 수 있는 가능성과 회로 구성의 확장 가능성이 크다는 장점도 있다. 본 논문에서는 입력 전압의 순시적인 선간전압을 이용한 새로운 공간 벡터 변조(Space Vector Modulation: SVM)방법을 제안하고, 기존 SVM과 동일한 구현 가능성 및 새로운 유사 멀티레벨(Multi-level) SVM으로의 확장성을 보인다. 유사 멀티레벨 SVM을 사용하였을 경우 출력 전류의 리플이 감소하고 고조파 특성이 개선됨을 Matlab 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

This paper proposes a MPC (Model Predictive Control) method for the torque and flux controls of induction motor. The proposed MPC method selects the optimized voltage vector for the matrix converter control using the predictive modeling equation of the induction motor and cost function. Hence, the reference voltage vector that minimizes the cost function of the torque and flux error within the control period is selected and applied to the actual system. As a result, it is possible to perform the torque and flux control of induction motor using only the MPC controller without a PI (Proportional-Integral) or hysteresis controller. Even though the proposed control algorithm is more complicated and has lots of computations compared with the conventional MPC, it can perform torque ripple reduction by synthesizing voltage vectors of various magnitude. This feature provides the reduction of amount of calculations and the improvement of the control performance through the adjustment of the number of the unit vectors n. The proposed control method is validated through the PSIM simulation.

Input filters are very important to matrix converters (MCs). They are used to improve grid side current waveform quality and to reduce the input voltage distortion supplied to the grid side. Due to the effects of the input filter and the output power, the grid side power factor (PF) is not at unity when the input power factor angle is zero. In this paper, the displacement angle between the grid side phase current and the phase voltage affected by the input filter parameters and output power is analyzed. Based on this, a new grid side PF unity compensation method implemented in the indirect space vector pulse width modulation (ISVPWM) method is presented, which has a larger compensation angle than the traditional compensation method, showing a higher grid side PF at unity in a wide output power range. Simulation and experimental results verify that the analysis of the displacement angle between the grid side phase current and the phase voltage affected by the input filter and output power is right and that the proposed compensation method has a better grid side PF at unity.
