| Abstract |
This paper is concerned with modelling, predicting and experimental measurement of semiconductor
losses in direct AC-AC (matrix) converters. All of the commutation scenarios possible in a matrix converter
topology using two or four step commutation are identified and studied. A complete loss model for
both switching loss and conduction loss for the purposes of comparison with other converter technologies
is developed and the matrix converter compared with an equivalent back-to-back inverter employing
the same devices. |
