Matrix Converter Double Sided Space Vector Modulation: a fast way to synthesize via S-Function

Matrix converters present several advantages in some power electronic applications, but their control is a complicated task. Matlab-Simulink is a very useful tool for the developing of control algorithms for power converters. In this paper, an exhaustive analysis of double sided space vector modulation for a matrix converter is presented. The synthesis of the complex space vector modulator is done using a single S-function, thus simplifying and accelerating the implementation and debugging of the controller of a matrix converter. The implementation procedure of the modulation strategy presents several important advantages, mainly, an acceleration of the time dedicated to the implementation of the modulator, a more reliable design, because the debugging is straightforward, and faster simulation times of the entire platform. The simulation method allows an easy way to synthesize the modulation algorithm in a FPGA, in this way, this paper contributes to the development of the IPMs. Finally, the results of applying the present space vector modulator for the control of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) are presented, showing that complex control of matrix converter is minimized
