Commutation compensation for matrix based rectifiers due to leakage inductances of isolation transformer

This paper proposes a compensation method for isolated matrix based rectifiers. The line side THD and output voltage isolated matrix rectifier are mainly affected by the commutation delay due to transformer leakage inductances. Since DC output voltage is usually regulated by a close loop controller. But the grid side current is affected by the commutation delay. The transformer leakage inductances increases the commutation delay which reduces actual dwell time of the active vector, causes distortion on grid side current with higher current THD. The proposed compensation method takes the commutation time into consideration and extends the dwell time for active vector properly. The algorithm has been verified by simulation results.
