Industrial Drive Performance Analysis with Direct Matrix Converter

Abstract

Objective: The performance of induction motor using various optimization techniques has been analysed. SVM based PID control technique is implemented to analyse the performance for each switching combination. Methods: There are many methods that are used to control matrix converter in scalar and vector control method. In this paper, the performance of induction motor is analysed using Space Vector Modulation (SVM). Findings: SVM technique is mainly used because of its advantages like higher voltage transfer ratio, lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and unity power factor. A three phase matrix converter is used which is an AC-AC power converter topology, where the output voltage and frequency can be changed and it allows 27 different switching states. Improvement: Many control techniques are available to tune the matrix converter effectively and PID controller tuning is used to select the best switching combination for the required output of induction motor.
