Matrix converter is an AC-AC direct power converter comprising of an array of bi-directional switches. It does not require an intermediate DC-link and allows sinusoidal output waveforms with varying amplitudes and frequencies. The configuration of these bi-directional switches decides the number of inputs and outputs of the matrix converter. This research uses a direct matrix converter (DMC) as a phase-changing device that can convert a three-phase AC voltage into a 5-phase AC voltage. The DMC is modulated with the model predictive control algorithm. The output of DMC is fed to a five-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The model predictive current control technique for DMC is carried out by developing a mathematical model of an input filter and PM motor used as a load. The predictive control of DMC results in sinusoidal output current, and it also enables the frequency variation in the output current. This frequency variation is useful in controlling the speed of the motor connected to the load. After controlling the 5-phase motor, the switching frequency regulation is done to observe its effect on the motor's stator current waveforms. Switching frequency regulation helps to limit the unnecessary switching of DMC. We developed a MATLAB-based Simulink model to study PMSM, and detailed results are presented. The results show that switching regulation can significantly reduce the switching frequency without compromising the current waveform quality.

This paper proposes a non-cascade -single loop- Direct Speed Control algorithm for surface mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) fed by Matrix Converter. The proposed method uses Finite Control Set Model Predictive Control (FCS-MPC) to manipulate system speed and currents simultaneously. Also, for better performance of the predictive method, an observer designed to estimate mechanical torque and other uncertain parameters of the mechanical subsystem as a lumped disturbance. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink demonstrate the performance of proposed algorithm.

This paper aims to use a three-phase quasi-Z-source indirect matrix converter (QZSIMC) to expand the voltage gain for application in a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) drives. In this converter, a unique quasi-Z-source network (QZSN) connects the three-phase input voltage to conventional indirect matrix converter (IMC) in order to boost the supply voltage for PMSM because of limited voltage gain of IMC. Dual space vector modulation (SVM) is utilized to control the QZSIMC. The amplitude of output voltage for quasi-Z-source network is raised by the shoot-through of the rectifier stage, so the system voltage gain becomes greater. Through selecting the optimized value of shoot through duty ratio (<em>D</em>) and modulation index of the rectifier stage (), the drive system can automatically regulate the output voltage of QZSIMC during conditions of voltage sag , step change in load torque and reference speed change when the required voltage gain of QZSIMC is more than 0.866 depending on input voltage and required output voltage.The vector control technique based on closed loop speed control is proposed to control speed of the motor from zero to rated speed which is combined with the proposed converter to obtain the motor drive. The simulation results with MATLAB /Simulink 2015 are obtained to validate performance of PMSM drive.
