Abstract :
A four-output leg matrix converter and variable-speed diesel generator are integrated to create a three-phase plus neutral utility power supply. The matrix converter is designed to meet tight harmonic and the forth leg provides the facility to supply unbalanced and single-phase loads. This enables the generator to provide stable power over a range of engine speeds and load conditions. Test results for the 10 kW offline power supply are provided to demonstrate system performance.
