Matrix converter for two-phase induction motor application: Analysis, modeling and simulation

This paper investigates the vector control of a two-phase induction motor drives with using matrix converter topologies. The aim is to reach a set of switches that can produce two phases voltage and current in order to be used in an induction motor. Since it is important to have a desired frequency for motor operation then this task can be achieved using matrix converter. Solution presents a switching system based on matrix converter to reach desired output voltage from two outputs patches. It is shown that the switching of these conduction patch must not be simultaneous but has to take place in the exact and proper switching order. Simulation result for two-phase induction motor produced and presented. Space vector Modulation using MATLAB Simulink has been performed and results are presented.
