Implementation and test of an Optimization-based Space-Vector Modulation method for the 3φ-3φ matrix converter

An innovative Optimization-based Space Vector Modulation method (OSVM) for 3Phi-3Phi matrix converter was proposed in paper [1]. OSVM is a direct modulation method which maximizes the modulation capability for reference vectors by using available input voltages and output currents. The solution of OSVM immediately tells the modulability of reference vectors. The algorithm of OSVM proposed in [1] has been implemented in a matrix testbed. The experimental results will be presented in this paper. The experimental results will show the performance and validity of the OSVM method.
