This Paper presents the application of Single Phase Matrix converter as a Cycloconverter and Cycloinverter. Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) technique is used to generate control pulses for the Matrix Converter switches to produce output. The switching sequences for the Matrix Converter to operate as Cycloconverter and Cycloinverter are presented and evaluated using MATLAB/ Simulink. Th...

This paper presents novel concept of a multiple converter. It works in three modesAC-AC converter voltage regulator, AC-AC converter frequency changer and AC-DC converter. All three modes work simultaneously. AC-AC converter mode of operation alters low input frequency to high output frequency across the load. AC-DC converter mode of operates with variable amplitude across load. This concept is...

Switched reluctance (SR) motors have high power density, high efficiency, high reliability, high fault tolerance, and low manufacturing cost. Thus, these motors have a high potential than other machines such as permanent magnet brushless motor, high-temperature super conductor motor, etc.; hence, it is well-suited for electric marine propulsion. This paper presents a new power converter and ana...

Abstract: A three-phase to single-phase matrix converter is investigated in the present paper. Based on the state matrix vector, a mathematical analysis of the converter is performed giving the relation between the sinusoidal line voltage (current) and the output voltage (current). The results of the investigation are confirmed using computer simulation of the converter by the program product C...

This paper presents a modified nine switch inverter with two inputs and two Z-source networks. This inverter has two DC inputs and two AC outputs. Input DC voltages can be boosted to the required level. Amplitude, frequency and phase of AC output voltages can be controlled, independently. The proposed converter can be used in applications with two unregulated DC sources, which require feeding ...

Multi-phase (more than three-phase) converters are required mainly for feeding variable speed multi-phase drive systems. This paper discusses one such solution by using direct ac-ac converter that can be used to supply a five-phase two-motor drive system. Matrix converter based two-motor drive system is presented for the first time in this paper. Two stator windings of two five-phase machines w...
