Comparative study on Predictive Current Control and Space Vector Modulation Techniques of Direct Matrix Converter in Wind Energy Conversion System

Abstract

Abstract:The objective of the paper is to compare two control techniques commonly being used like predictive current control and space vector modulation in Direct Matrix Converter. These two methods are compared considering theoretical complexity and performance. The purpose of most of these methods is to generate sinusoidal currents on both input and output side. The space vector Modulation (SVM) approach is based on instantaneous space vector representation of input and output voltages and current. Due to advances in processors Predictive Control Schemes have recently emerged as feasible approaches. This strategy uses the converter and load model to predict the future behavior of load currents and power.
