Matrix converter Double Sided Space Vector Modulation: A fast way to synthesize via S-Function

Matrix Converters present several advantages in some power electronic applications, but their control is a complicated task. Matlab-Simulink is a very useful tool for the developing of control algorithms for power converters. In this paper, an exhaustive analysis of Double Sided Space Vector Modulation for a Matrix Converter is presented. The synthesis of the complex Space Vector Modulator is done using a single SFunction, thus simplifying and accelerating the implementation and debugging of the controller of a Matrix Converter. The implementation procedure of the modulation strategy presents several important advantages, mainly, an acceleration of the time dedicated to the implementation of the modulator, a more reliable design, because the debugging is straightforward, and faster simulation times of the entire platform. The simulation method allows an easy way to synthesize the modulation algorithm in a FPGA, in this way, this paper contributes to the development of the IPMs. Finally, the results of applying the present Space Vector Modulator for the control of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) are presented, showing that complex control of Matrix Converter is minimized.
