 Abstract   In this paper two input current modulation strategies for matrix converters are experimentally analyzed under two different supply conditions: sinusoidal unbalanced voltages and nonsinusoidal balanced voltages. Both strategies use the Space Vector Modulation (SVM) technique in order to control the matrix converter accordingly to the input and output constraints. Strategy A modulates the input currents keeping the corresponding space vector in phase with the input voltage vector. Strategy B operates in order to keep the input current vector in phase with the positive sequence fundamental component of the input voltage vector. A comparison between the two strategies is made in terms of reduction of the input current disturbances due to voltage non idealities present on the grid. It is concluded that a dynamic current modulation strategy, independent of the voltage disturbances such as Strategy B, is more effective for the reduction of the RMS value of input current disturbances. The validity of the theoretical investigation and the effectiveness of the current modulation strategy have been confirmed by experimental tests carried out on a matrix converter prototype.
