Dual Three-Phase Indirect Matrix Converter With Carrier-Based PWM Method

This paper proposes an indirect matrix converter (IMC) topology with dual three-phase outputs and its effective carrier-based pulse width modulation (PWM) method. The proposed IMC topology can independently supply ac power for two three-phase loads from a single three-phase ac power source. This converter consists of a rectifier stage used in traditional three-phase IMC and a five-leg inverter. Besides a proposed IMC topology, the carrier-based PWM method suitable for this converter is also introduced. The proposed PWM method is easily implemented by using only one symmetrical triangular carrier signal to generate the PWM signals for a rectifier and five-leg inverter. Proposed IMC topology features the advantages of conventional three-phase IMC, such as sinusoidal input/output current waveforms, controllable input power factor, and simple commutation at the rectifier stage. Analysis, simulation, and experimental results are provided to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed IMC topology with dual three-phase outputs and to validate the effectiveness of the applied modulation strategy.
