Flexible and Reduced Modulation and Simulation Method for a Matrix Converter-DFIM Modulator

This paper proposes a practical way to simplify large simulation platforms. A complete model with a Matrix Converter ( MC ) linked to a doubly fed induction machine ( DFIM ) is described, proving that this kind of converter is suitable for use in power regenerative rigs. Besides contributing to the study of DFIM with MC , a fast way to describe all kinds of Space Vector Modulation ( SVM ) algorithms is presented. The modulator algorithm is supported theoretically and described in an S-Function of Matlab-Simulink, which reduces the design time and provides a way to implement the control code in new integrated circuits, such as FPGA s; in this sense, this paper contributes to the development of IPM s (Integrated Power Module). Platform modules have been analyzed showing the links between the entire platform ( MC and a DFIM ). Finally, the entire design has been verified by simulation results.
