synchronous control of indirect matrix converter for three-phase power conditioner

this paper describes an average model of indirect matrix converter (imc) with an output lc filter in stationary and rotating reference frames. the developed model is non-linear and should be linearized in order to design linear controllers. transient performance of the imc is compared with that of conventional inverter in classic ac/dc/ac system. in order to make the imc applicable for power conditioner applications a synchronous controller is designed. a power conditioner acts in one or more ways to deliver a voltage of the proper level and characteristics to enable load equipment to function properly. in order to afford the power conditioner requirements the controller has two segments. one segment controls the imc with balanced input supply voltage and the other controls the system with unbalanced input supply voltage. the system can provide balanced output voltages with slight distortion of line side currents. theory analyses, the model validation and simulation results are presented to verify the effectiveness of this control method.
