A New SVM Method for an Indirect Matrix Converter With Common-Mode Voltage Reduction

A new space vector modulation (SVM) process for use in an indirect matrix converter (IMC) has been proposed in this paper to reduce the common-mode voltage (CMV) in a high voltage transfer ratio. The principles of selecting suitable active vectors and then properly arranging the switching sequence in the inverter stage of the IMC are described. The IMC with the new SVM method significantly reduces the peak-to-peak voltage of the CMV without any extra hardware. The new SVM method has some other advantages such as a lower total harmonic distortion of line-to-line output voltage and a reduced switching loss at the inverter stage through a minimum number of switching commutations as compared to the conventional reduced CMV-SVM method. The proposed modulation can be easily implemented in software without any additional hardware modifications. Both simulation and experimental results are shown to demonstrate that the new SVM method can generate good performance of the input/output waveforms and provide CMV reduction.
