Design and implementation of a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter with input power factor correction

Abstract
A compact, high-performance, high-frequency three-phase to three-phase matrix converter for AC drive applications is presented. The power stage is designed for a maximum output power of 2 kVA using MOSFETs. The switching frequency is 20 kHz. A space vector modulation technique is used for control of the matrix converter switches. The modulator is implemented with a digital signal processor. A standard 3 HP induction motor is used as a load. Low-distortion sinusoidal input and output currents are achieved. The input power factor is above 0.99 in the whole operating range.
