Investigation of Matrix Converter for Wind Energy Conversion

Abstract

: The proposed series Z-source matrix converter topology investigates the output voltage, the inrush current and the voltage across the capacitor between the stages. In this paper, that idea is implemented on a three-phase to three phase indirect matrix converter. This z-source matrix converter is connected across the inverter and rectifier circuit for amplifying the voltage gain. The proposed converter is designed on the principle of ultra sparse technology in order to rebate the number of semiconductor switches. The boosting capability of this converter can be enhanced by an optimal PWM technique and by reducing the switching losses. The comparative analysis is performed between series and cascaded Z-source matrix converter topologies can be applied for wind energy conversion system. This comparison manifest that, the series Zsource matrix converter has minimum inrush current and very less capacitor voltage than the previous cascaded z-source matrix converter. Furthermore, the FFT analysis on the output current of converters corroborates the good features of the series Z-source matrix converter over other one.
