In this paper, a new topology is proposed for three-phase to single-phase matrix converters, where more voltage levels are produced in the output in comparison with the conventional topologies. In addition, a new control method based on minimum error between the generated and the desired output voltages is proposed for three-phase to single-phase matrix converters. In the proposed control metho...

This paper introduces a new method of intelligent control to control the Buck converter using newly developed small signal model of the pulse width modulation (PWM) switch.

Then, a numerical algorithm used in robust control called linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimi...

In this paper, the reactive power control of a variable speed permanent-magnet synchronous wind generator with a matrix converter at the grid side is improved. A generalized modulation technique based on singular value decomposition of the modulation matrix is used to model different modulation techniques and investigate their corresponding input reactive power capability. Based on this modulat...

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...
