Compensation control of matrix converter fed induction motor drive under abnormal input voltage conditions

Matrix converter (MC) is a direct energy conversion device with high input power factor and regeneration capability. As a device without dc link elements, the ac line side disturbances can degrade its output characteristic and reliability, even deteriorate the drive performance of motor load. In this paper, the behaviors of the MC drive under abnormal input voltage conditions, in terms of unbalance, nonsinusoidal and short-time voltage sag, have been investigated. A feedback compensation method based on close loop control of output current is proposed to improve the output performance of MC. In addition, a feedforward compensation method by measuring instantaneous values of input voltage is developed to compensate the output voltages of MC and ensure the drive performance of induction motor under abnormal input voltage conditions. The effectiveness and feasibility of the two proposed compensation methods have been proven through numerical simulations and experimental tests.
