Abstract

In order to reduce the Common-Mode Voltage (CMV) in three-to-five phase indirect matrix converters, three improved Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) methods are proposed and discussed. The improved modulation schemes are achieved by reorganizing zero vectors from the inversion stage to the rectification stage. The proposed methods can not only theoretically reduce the CMV peak value by up to 47.1%, but also decrease the switching losses of the power devices. Moreover, comparisons show that a superior CMV reduction performance is achieved when only two large active voltage vectors (AVVs) in the inversion stage, which results in a large amount of third-order harmonics in output currents. In addition, the method that utilizes two adjacent active current vectors (ACVs) and the method that uses two non-adjacent ACVs in the rectification stage have the same CMV peak value. By contrast, the latter achieves a lower Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) level of the output currents. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
