This paper suggested a new contribution of three phase AC to AC matrix converter MC via fuzzy logic controller FLC to enhance the whole system. However, the weakness of matrix converter is that the input- output voltage transfer is control to 87% for input and output waveform. Also, matrix converter is more sensitive to the trouble of input voltage which deteriorates the system performance. To overcome these problems, and to improve the efficiency of system, FLC with matrix converter is proposed to minimize the sensitivity to the load, and to increase voltage transfer. In this paper the currents a,b,c are converted to alpha and beta current via Clarke transformation . In this method two FLC are used. The error (between alpha current and reference current) (e) and the change of this error (de) will apply to first FLC. The output of FLC is actual alpha current. In the other hand, the error of beta current and the change of error are also passes through the second FLC to produce the actual beta current. The actual alpha and beta current is converted to direct and quadrature d-q current by park transformation. The d-q current is converted to (a, b, c) out currents by inverse park transformation, the results of this method express that the matrix converter with FLC is more capable, high accuracy with better efficiency as compared with conventional matrix converter system.

Symmetry is not only used to simplify the analysis of three-phase electrical systems, but it is also used to define its voltages, currents and loads. When the loads are symmetrical, the currents of a three-phase AC system are expected to be symmetrical as well. Given the proper conditions, in converters such as the matrix converter (MC), the output voltages and currents are expected to be sinusoidal with periodic symmetry. However, in some cases this symmetry is broken so that, there appears nonlinear behaviors such as quasiperiodicity and so on. Based on simulations and experiments, this paper focuses on an analysis of a quasiperiodic behavior and the presence of a DC component in the output currents of a Venturini modulated MC. The presence of such behaviors in the output currents indicates that the symmetry in a period is broken. The broken symmetries appear when the input and output frequencies are mismatched. In addition, this paper shows the possibility to recover the symmetry of the output currents of the MC. The method for symmetry recovery is based on a time-delayed feedback control. The simulation and experimental results indicate the possibility of attenuating the quasiperiodic behavior and DC component.

Purpose – The use of power electronic equipment such as conventional AC-DC-AC converters cause several problems in electrical networks and its components. They generate harmonic currents and disturb the electrical power sources; so, it is necessary to research alternative topologies of power electronic converters based on advanced intelligent controllers, which reduce or even eliminate harmonics to achieve energy-saving and environmental protection. The use of matrix converter (MC) is, considered as an attractive solution to maintain pure sinusoidal input and output current waveforms. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach – The studied system is composed of a three phase matrix converter (TMC) feeding a linear R, L load and a trees phase rectifier considered as a non-linear load; the proposed control strategy is based on a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) associated to the (space vector modulation) SVM modulation technique, this choice is motivated by the advantages that represent the combination of FLC and SVM in term of power quality enhancement in both input and output sides of MC. Findings – The model is validated based on simulation results that illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in term of power quality amelioration. The high performance of the proposed FLC is illustrated in all study cases especially in the case of perturbed input voltage, it is not only able to keep the whole system stable, but also it reduces harmonic distortion THD to respect international standards recommendation. Originality/value – In this paper, an associated linear (RL), non-linear loads and TMC is studied. From the mathematical point of view, the MC is modeled and analyzed. From the technique point of view, the MC allows sinusoidal current absorbance from the network with good qualities in term of harmonic distortion compensation, and high reliability under various loads and disturbed input voltage.

Matrix converters have the most compact and efficient AC-AC converter structure due to the lack of the DC intermediate components. The matrix converter makes a single-stage conversion directly connecting any terminal of voltage source to any terminal of load. This outstanding feature leads to some problems that must be overcome under the distorted input voltage conditions. A matrix converter has low immunity to power source disturbances, because it has no DC intermediate circuit. Any disturbance in the power source creates a negative effect on the load of the matrix converter and on the current drawn from the source. In this study, a novel compensation method, which provides immunity against input voltage disturbances, is suggested for the matrix converter. The suggested method has a hybrid structure, which includes both feedforward and fuzzy logic controller based feedback methods. The effectiveness and accuracy of the suggested new hybrid compensation approach are proved by the various results obtained.

<span lang="EN-IN">This paper presents harmonic analysis of matrix converter using different control technique for balance and Unbalance three phase input voltage of reactive load. Since Matrix converter is subject to affected either by external disturbance or by load conditions. Due to this the supply voltage becomes unbalance. This cause improper switching of matrix converter results higher harmonics. This harmonics are harmful to the quality of the output power. The switching sequence of the matrix converter is controlled by vector control method. Different control technique is proposed in this paper to get optimized result with reduced harmonic for unbalanced and balance input voltage using PID, Fractional Order PID (PI<sup>λ</sup>Dδ) controller (FOPID), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)FOPID. PID control technique result are compared with other optimization technique for best optimum output. The FOPID controller is used to compensates the current and also improvise the quality of energy by reducing the harmonic content. The simulations and hardware results will be presented and interpreted. The effectivess of the proposed system is proven with the results is shown in this paper which produce a better steady state lesser transient rather than the conventional PID method.</span>

This paper presents improved Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) of the Direct Torque Control (DTC) of Three-Phase Induction Motor (IM) for high performance and torque control industrial drive applications. The performance of the IM using PI Controllers and general fuzzy controllers are meager level under load disturbances and transient conditions. The FLC is extended to have a less computational burden which makes it suitable for real time implementation particularly at constant speed and torque disturbance operating conditions. Hybrid control has advantage of integrating a superiority of two or more control techniques for better control performances. A fuzzy controller offers better speed responses for startup and large speed errors. If the nature of the load torque is varied, the steady state speed error of DTC based IM drive with fuzzy logic controller becomes significant. To improve the performance of the system, a new control method, Hybrid fuzzy PI control is proposed. The effectiveness of proposed method is verified by simulation based on MATLAB. The proposed Hybrid fuzzy controller has adaptive control over load toque variation and can maintain constant speed.

The matrix converter (MC) has recently attracted significant attention among researchers because of its applications in wind energy conversion, military power supplies, induction motor drives, etc. Recently, different MC topologies have been proposed and developed which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Matrix converter can be classified as a direct and indirect structure. This chapter aims to give a general description of the basic features of a three phase to three phase matrix converters in terms of performance and of technological issues. Matrix converter is a direct AC-AC converter topology that is able to directly convert energy from an AC source to an AC load without the need of a bulky and limited lifetime energy storage element. AC-AC topologies receive extensive research attention for being an alternative to replace traditional AC-DC-AC converters in the variable voltage and variable frequency AC drive applications.

In the last several years, thanks to the development and continuous improvement of semiconductor switching elements, and the simultaneous increase in interest in multi-phase drives, the investigation into constructing multi-phase converters has been growing. The matrix converter (MC) is considered to be one of the contenders for use in the multi-phase drive. In the context of using MC in the drive, it is expected to eliminate the common mode voltage (CMV). Another important problem is the ability to correct the input displacement angle to ensure the operation of the MC with unity input power factor. The purpose of the article is to present an MC modulation strategy that implements both CMV elimination and input displacement angle adjustment. Analytical and simulation analyses of the strategy, in application to three-to-multi-phase MC is presented. The suggested modulation strategy in applying to three-to-multi-phase MC is implemented in ATP-EMTP (Alternative Transients Program-ElectroMagnetic Transients Program) software. Simulation results are provided for a three-to-three-phase three-to-six-phase and three-to-nine-phase MC. The proposed modulation strategy is validated using an experimental approach.

This paper presents a low power CMOS analog integrated circuit of a Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy logic controller with voltage/voltage interface, small chip area, relatively high accuracy and medium speed, which is composed of several improved functional blocks. Z-shaped, Gaussian and S-shaped membership function circuits with compact structures are designed, performing well with low power, high speed and small areas. A current minimization circuit is provided with high accuracy and high speed. A follower-aggregation defuzzification block composed of several multipliers for center of gravity (COG) defuzzification is presented without using a division circuit. Based on these blocks, a two-input one-output singleton fuzzy controller with nine rules is designed under a CMOS 0.6 μm standard technology provided by CSMC. HSPICE simulation results show that this controller reaches an accuracy of ±3% with power consumption of only 3.5 mW (at ±2.5 V). The speed of this controller goes up to 0.625M Fuzzy Logic Inference per Second (FLIPS), which is fast enough for real-time control.

Based on Venturini method, it is in favor of the modulation technique for controlling the matrix converter due to only use of the comparison between the duty cycles in time domain and the triangular carrier wave for generating the gating signals and the achievable voltage ratio between fundamental output magnitude and fundamental input magnitude to 0.866. However, even with simple modulation method and achieving maximum fundamental output magnitude, the possible input voltage unbalance conditions accordingly influence on the output performances (more reduction and distortion). Thus, a control strategy based on Venturini method is presented in this paper, in order to solve the impacts of unbalanced input voltage conditions on the matrix converter performances. Conceptually, this strategy is done by modifying the mathematical model for controlling the modulating waves to satisfy the desirable feature, as generated in the event of normal situation. Up to this approach, it can support either single-phase condition or two-phase condition. Performance of the proposed control strategy was verified by the simplified simulation model in the MATLAB/Simulink software. It is clearly shown that the matrix converter can be controlled for regulating the balanced output voltages with showing good steady-state and dynamic operations without the energy storage devices.
