Abstract
This paper describes the control analysis and design of an ac-to-ac three-phase mobile utility power supply using a matrix converter capable of high-quality 50-, 60-, and 400-Hz output voltage and reduced input harmonic distortion. Instead of the traditional structure employing a diode bridge rectifier, a dc link and a pulsewidth-modulated inverter, a three-phase-to-three-phase direct ac-ac (matrix) converter has been used as the power-conditioning core of the system, working in conjunction with input and output LC low-pass filters. An optimizing control design method using a genetic algorithm approach has been used, which yields designs to minimize a cost function, taking into account transient and steady-state output voltage performance targets, together with robustness to different operative conditions and system parameters drift. Simulation and experimental tests have demonstrated that the system meets the power-quality requirements of the application.
