supply system. But these two stage converters end with poor efficiency,
higher maintenance cost of energy storage elements, reduced high
performance life time by the use of bulk energy storage elements in the dc
link, lower order harmonics and suffers from the absence of bidirectional
power flow capability during deceleration.
the input is reduced by changing the switching sequence of the PWM patterns
adequately and the distortion of the input current is reduced.
transfer ratio and the over voltages caused by the input filter during power-up-
that have delayed the industrial implementation have been overcome.
Roy and April (1989) presented a new scalar control algorithm for
the operation of direct frequency changers which are a type of cycloconverter
allowing direct AC to AC power conversion without any energy storage
device within the power stage. The method uses the instantaneous voltage
ratio of specific input voltage to generate the active and zero states of the
various switches. The maximum voltage transfer ratio is obtained in this
algorithm with any power displacement factor independent of load power
factor. The algorithm allows full control over voltage and frequency at the
output port. However, on the input side little effect on frequency spectrum of
both output voltage and input current.
signal processors. For guaranteeing the latter two features, correct digital
sampling instants and state sequence reversal must be chosen appropriately.
Digital carrier modulation scheme was proposed by Poh Chiang Loh et al
(2009) for controlling conventional and indirect matrix converters with
minimized semiconductor commutation count and smooth sextant transitions
with no erroneous states produced. For ensuring their smooth operations,
sampling-related complications are analyzed, and suitable sampling instants
are identified. Specifically, for the indirect matrix converter topology, where
only a single carrier orientation is used for the full reference cycle, sampling
at the carrier troughs is recommended since it avoids multiphase switching. In
contrast, peak sampling is noted to give a lower commutation count for the
conventional matrix converter, which uses alternate carrier orientations. In
spite of that difference, both converters when controlled using the same
generic modulator are expected to produce similar input and output
waveforms so long as the appropriate sampling sequence is digitally
programmed to the microprocessor.
are discussed for the purpose of controller design. The results show that good
dynamic and steady-state performance on PMSM speed regulation is achieved
under the unbalanced and distorted input voltage conditions, and the
immunity of the drive system is verified to be improved.
calculating the vector duty cycles. Consequently, the desired sinusoidal output
voltages are not accurately synthesized, resulting in unbalanced and/or
distorted output currents. This has an immediate effect on the input current
synthesis in that the input currents are not non-sinusoidal. In the Venturini
control method, imbalance and/or distortion in the supply voltages can be
compensated by using sampled input voltages to calculate the switch duty
cycles. The Venturini method itself can compensate input voltage imbalance
and/or distortion and gives slightly superior performance in terms of input
current and output voltage harmonics. However, the SVM method uses a
simpler method to control the input power factor and involves lower
switching losses.
During the ride-through operation, the drive is not able to develop torque or
control the motor flux. By recovering the necessary power to feed the control
hardware of the matrix converter, it is able to keep the Adjustable Speed
Drives (ASD) operating. When normal grid conditions are reestablished, the
matrix converter is able to accelerate the motor from non-zero speed and flux
by initializing the modulator with the estimated frequency and the initial
angle of the reference output voltage vector. The maximum duration of the
ride-through operation depends on the initial motor flux, speed level, rotor
time constant, load torque and inertia. The scalar control technique is applied
to the motor.
quality and the switching losses associated with the modulation schemes. This
new modulation approach is applicable whenever the output voltage reference
is below half the input voltage and the output voltage quality is then superior
to that of the conventional space vector modulation scheme. The output
voltage of the proposed scheme turns out to be comparable to the best of the
conventional schemes, while the input current is more distorted.
the input current have been evaluated analytically. The input current harmonic
spectrum is quite different for the two control strategies and can be related to
the input and output imbalance. It has been verified that in the usual case of
balanced output conditions, using the second method, it is possible to
eliminate the harmonic components of the input current. Further comparisons
between different input current modulation strategies are under investigation,
in order to improve the input current quality.
also improved, such as fast responses of speed change and load torque
change. Hulusi Karaca and Ramazan Akkaya (2009) presented a closed loop
control method using PI controller based compensation to prevent the
negative effects of input current and output voltage harmonics under distorted
input voltage conditions and to improve the performance of matrix converter.
Though the tuning of PID controller in real time is a little bit difficult, it lacks
the disturbance rejection capability. The advantages of internal model control
strategy based PID Controller is well described. The mathematical model of
Brush Less Direct Current (BLDC) motor is presented for control design. In
addition, the robustness of the control strategy is discussed. The proposed
control strategy possesses good transient responses and good load disturbance
response. In addition, the proposed control strategy possesses good tracking
ability.
