This study presents a new method to reduce current and voltage distortions for matrix converters in the overmodulation range. Analytical overmodulation conditions for input currents and output voltages are derived. Then, a carrier-based overmodulation method is proposed to reduce distortions by appropriately adjusting reference voltages. Simulation results confirm that the distortions of input currents and output voltages can be reduced using the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
