Comparative Analysis on Matrix Converters [3x3] and [3x5] fed Induction Machine

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to replace the traditional three phases systems (machine-converter) by other poly-phases systems, for that a detailed comparison between two systems controlled with vector control of induction machine three and five phases feeding a [3x3] and [3x5] matrix converters respectively are proposed, emphasizing advantages and disadvantages if they exist. The performance of the two systems is evaluated in terms of curves/ THD of output voltages, torque ripples rate, input/ output currents sine waveform, and rapid response of speed curves. The analysis has been carried out on the basis of results obtained by numerical simulations using Matlab/ Simulink for the validation of the proposed control strategy and to clarify the main related advantages
