Modeling and simulation of matrix converter/induction motor drive Original Research Article

Modeling and simulation of a matrix converter/induction motor drive are presented in this paper, which includes a three phase ac to ac matrix converter, an induction motor, a field oriented controller, filters and a power source. In addition, a developed precise loss calculation model for power converters is described with calculation results when it was applied to the matrix converter. A harmonic analysis is described with a developed switching strategy, which reduces the harmonic current at the matrix converter input.
