A New Single-Phase Controlled Rectifier using Single-Phase Matrix Converter with Regenerative Capabilities

A new single-phase controlled rectifier using single-phase matrix converter (SPMC) with fully controllable regenerative capabilities is presented. PWM technique was used to calculate the switch duty ratio to synthesize the output. Safe commutation strategy was implemented to avoid voltage spikes due to inductive load. Selected simulation and experimental results are presented to verify proposed operation.
