This paper presents a space vector modulation strategy for a three-phase indirect matrix converter to reduce the common-mode voltage and maintain the output performance. To reduce the peak value of the common-mode voltage to 57.7% of the input phase voltage, three active voltage vectors are used to generate the desired output voltage with arbitrary amplitude and frequency, instead of using both active and zero voltage vectors as in the traditional space vector modulation strategy. Although the common-mode voltage is reduced, the output waveform quality of the three-phase indirect matrix converter deteriorates due to the absence of the zero voltage vectors. To overcome this problem, the proposed space vector modulation strategy is redesigned to control the rectifier stage of the indirect matrix converter by utilizing three active current vectors instead of two as usual. Consequently, the constant average dc-link voltage is achieved, which can improve the output performance in terms of the output voltage and current harmonic distortion. The simulation is implemented by PSIM software and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed space vector modulation strategy.

In order to reduce the common-mode voltage (CMV) for three-to-five-phase indirect matrix converter (IMC), the CMV with the conventional modulation strategy is analyzed. A novel carrier-based PWM (CBPWM) method is proposed in this paper. The zero vectors in the inverter stage are assigned to the rectifier stage, equivalently, which are not considered in the inverter stage. The zero vectors are selected appropriately to ensure that the dc-link is connected to an input phase with the minimum absolute value, so that the larger CMV can be avoided. Then, the modulation signals are derived by the duty ratios, which are used to compare with the only one carrier signal and generate the gate pulses of switches. With the proposed method, the CMV is reduced effectively compared with the conventional modulation strategy. This method is analyzed and researched with a simulation model established by Matlab/Simulink. Simulation results are provided in detail to verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.

This paper deals with the Direct Torque Control (DTC) of Dual Indirect Matrix Converter (DIMC) feeding an open-end winding three-phase Induction Motor (IM). Indeed, the open-end winding topology allows overcoming the main problem of Common-Mode Voltage (CMV) which is responsible of presence of stresses in the motor winding in classical topologies, controlling separately the winding of the three-phases, reducing the voltage stress of the power electronics switches and to decreasing the voltage and current harmonics in each phase. The proposed Dual-output Indirect Matrix Converter generates 18 active voltage space vectors. Whereas, in the proposed algorithm presented in this paper to ensure the control of the proposed topology it is implemented only with two null vectors and six active voltage vectors for each output. It is based on same idea of the space vector pulse width modulation that is applied separately for both converters to ensure the control of their output voltages. Indeed, to ensure the required voltage at each winding the output voltage of the first matrix converter are generated normally and output voltage of the second matrix converter are generated with 180° phase shift. The obtained simulation results prove clearly the overall performance of the control of the studied drive system based on the proposed topology and its control algorithm which may be extended to other drive system application, especially in industrial application where more improved performances are required.
