Abstract

The matrix converter is an advanced circuit topology that offers many advantages such as ability to regenerate energy back to the utility. In matrix converter, input supply voltage is equal to output voltage. The output voltage gets distorted due to changing modulation index. In this project matrix converter with low frequency cycloconverter operation is proposed with amalgamation methods. This proposed method will improve fundamental voltage and reduce the total harmonic distortion. This is achieved by varying modulation index from 0.1 to 0.9 in this proposed amalgamation methods. Simulations results are presented for Phase angle control method (HWSVFAM and QWSVFAM) and PWM method (PATTERN1 and PATTERN2) using software mat lab version 7.0.
