International audienceMany research efforts have been dedicated to matrix converters for several years. As major technological issues are now solved, this structure will widespread in industrial applications, in particular with AC motors. Current control is a key issue for AC motor drives, so many control schemes have been proposed. Some of them proposed at first for inverters, were applied to matrix converters. Among algorithms used with inverters, predictive control shows very good performances. In this paper a new control scheme is proposed for a matrix converter- fed permanent magnet synchronous machine. Literature about matrix converter technology and control and about predictive control for inverter-fed AC machines is reviewed. The proposed predictive control principle, the model of the whole machine - converter and the cost-function are detailed. The method offers a trade-off between the quality of motor currents and input power factor. Finally experimental results are reported. The feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed method is assessed

“…Furthermore, IGBT+Diode (in Co-Pack package) [9], normally-on Silicon Carbide (SiC) JFETs [10], SJ MOSFETs [11] and normally-off GaN HEMTs [10] [12] provide bidirectional current conduction and unidirectional voltage blocking capabilities, so an anti-series arrangement of two of these devices is required for implementing the BDS function [8] [13]- [15]. These test vehicles have been implemented using the most performing power devices commercially available in the voltage and current ranges of interest, focusing on the 600 V -40 A rated values.…”

This paper provides an analysis on the design, implementation and operation of Bi-Directional Switches (BDS) based on power semiconductor devices intended to replace Electro Mechanical Relays (EMR) in home appliances. Static and dynamic characterizations of test vehicles developed using different power device semiconductor technologies (TRIAC, Super Junction (SJ) MOSFET, IGBT…) are presented. At this time, emerging Gallium Nitride High Electron Mobility Transistors (GaN HEMTs) seem to be very suitable for the mentioned applications. Actually, GaN HEMTs based BDS has demonstrated to be the best solution to replace EMRs, with a high expectation to a significant cost reduction.

“…The commutation of a bidirectional switch consisting of two IGBTs with series diodes connected in the anti-parallel manner can be based on either the output load current direction or on the sign of the input voltage across the commutating bidirectional switches. In the following the discussion refer to In order to ensure that the above conditions are met, it is required to know either the sign of the input voltage across the switches or the direction of the output load current before a safe commutation sequence is applied [28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Conservation by Voltage Reduction (CVR) is the implementation of a distribution voltage strategy whereby all distribution voltages are lowered to the minimum allowed by the equipment manufacturer. This strategy is rooted in the fact that many loads consume less power when they are fed with a voltage lower than nominal. Electric utility companies consider CVR as a potential solution for managing power in distribution networks. However, a difficult challenge is to keep end-of-line (EOL) voltages within an acceptable range of the ANSI Standard C84.1. Therefore, to achieve maximum benefit from CVR, electric utilities should be able to regulate residential voltages depending on load requirements. Hence, there is a need for a local solution which can regulate residential voltage levels from the first customer on the distribution feeder until the EOL of the distribution network. Such a solution will not only provide flexibility to electric utilities for better control over residential voltages but it can also maximize the benefits from CVR. The goal of this research is to develop a Residential Static Var Compensator (RSVC) that will allow electric utility companies to develop strategies for CVR and other applications. The proposed RSVC is in fact a reactive power compensator that can regulate a residential load voltage with a fixed capacitor in shunt with a reactor controlled by two bidirectional switches. The two switches are turned on and off in a complementary manner using a pulse-width modulation (PWM) technique that allows the reactor to function as a continuously-variable inductor. The proposed vii RSVC has several advantages compared to a conventional thyristor-based static var compensator (SVC), such as a quasi-sinusoidal inductor current, sub-cycle reactive power controllability, lower footprint for reactive components, and its realization as a single-phase device. viii
