Reactive Power Control of Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Wind Generator With Matrix Converter

Grid-integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator based wind energy conversion systems: A technology review

“…Unlike conventional two-level back-to-back converter which requires 12 active switches and a dc link capacitor so as to make the control of the MSC and GSC completely independent; a matrix converter includes 6 additional active switches, requires no bulky and costly energy storage element and controls the generator-and gridside quantities simultaneously [3,21,88,93,[108][109][110][111][112]. The output of the matrix converter is synthesized by selective closings and openings of the bidirectional switches positioned at the intersection points of the input and output phases [3,88].…”

Reduction of Output Common Mode Voltage Using a Novel SVM Implementation in Matrix Converters for Improved Motor Lifetime

“…Since no intermediate reactive devices are required, a MC allows for a very compact design. In addition to these advantages, its low cost and high power density have made MC an attractive solution for special applications such as compact drives, drives in hostile environments, military applications [37], aerospace [38], and renewable energy [39][40][41].…”

A Modified Open Loop Control of a Matrix Converter Connected to Wind Energy System

“…AC can be directly converted to AC with different voltage rms value and different frequency by using a MC without using any DC link [2,3]. And this is the bold feature of MC over rectifier-inverter converter, so MC can be considered an emerging alternative to the conventional rectifier-inverter converter [4][5][6][7]. Independent control on the output voltage magnitude and frequency can be provided by utilizing a MC.…”
