An alternative carrier based implementation of Space Vector PWM for dual matrix converter drive with common mode voltage elimination

This paper presents a carrier based implementation of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) of dual matrix converters (MCs) using synchronously rotating vectors. Usage of only synchronously rotating vectors ensures the elimination of differential and average common mode voltages which lead to circulating currents and electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems respectively. The proposed strategy is an alternative way to achieve SVPWM, but it doesn´t involve the knowledge of space vectors once it is derived. Also, it avoids any trigonometric and division operations that could be needed to implement the SVPWM using the general space vector approach.
