Space Vector Modulation Applied to a Multi-Modular Matrix Converter for Current Control in Six-phase Generation Systems

Multiphase generators allow redundant conversion topologies to be applied by organizing sources into three-phase groups, this document presents a way to take advantage of this feature in conjunction with 3x3 matrix converters and SVM modulation, which allows not only control of the output signal, it also allows control of the input current phase. For this, a current PI control is applied. System performance is verified by reference tracking and THD with satisfactory transients for amplitude and frequency step in current applied to load.
