Abstract

In this paper, the operation of two DVR topologies based on a matrix converter and without energy storage are analyzed and compared. By incorporating the AC-AC energy conversion technology and eliminating the energy storage device the topologies proposed represents attractive alternatives due to their relatively low cost, maintenance requirements and complexity. Through the systems analysis and the simulations results obtained, the topology with the input terminals connected on the load side presents the best performance in voltage compensation applications.
