In controllng of the electrc energy, the great advances are provded together wth fast proveents n seconductor power eleents and power electroncs converters. he atrx converter provdng drectly ac-ac power converson s one of the ost nterestng ebers of the power converter faly. Matrx converter frstly ntroduced n 976 started to provng after papers of Venturn and Alesna n 980 [, ]. he proposed ethod by these authors s known as the Venturn ethod or the drect transfer functon approach. In ths ethod, gate-drve sgnals for the nne bdrectonal swtches are calculated to generate varable-frequency and/or varable-apltude snusodal output voltages fro the fxed-frequency and the fxed-apltude nput voltages. he MC has soe advantages as follows accordng to tradtonal converter.

But, the physcal realzaton of the MC s very dffcult, and the nuber of the devces n the power crcut s hgher than that of the nverter. herefore, t s crucal to obtan an effectve odel and to test t before constructng a workng prototype of the MC. However, popular crcut-orented sulaton software packages such as PSPICE, PSIM and Matlab&Sulnk have not got the odel of an MC as a standard block n ther lbrares [5]. In ths work, an effectve odel of the MC s developed by usng Matlab&Sulnk n order to copensate entoned necessty. he basc concepts of atrx converter are explaned and the atheatcal odel of atrx converter s brefly gven n a clear for. Optu Apltude-Venturn Modulaton (OAVM) ethod s used to produce the gate sgnals drvng bdrectonal power seconductors, and a axu voltage transfer rato (0.866) was obtaned. An nput flter s used at nput sde of converter. It soothes dstorton of the nput current around the swtchng frequency and elnates the generaton of overvoltage produced durng coutaton of currents due to the presence of the short-crcut reactance of any real power supply. he workng prncples of MC producng the output voltages at varous apltude and frequency are analyzed. Also, sulaton results of OAVM ethod based atrx converter are gven. II. HE BASIC OPOLOGY OF MARIX CONVERER he atrx converter s a sngle-stage converter, whch has an array of x n bdrectonal power swtches. Each bdrectonal swtch s coposed of two IGBs and two fast dodes connected ant-parallel. heoretcally, the nuber of nput phases, ust be at least three, and the nuber of output phases, n can be chosen fro one to nfnty. he basc atrx converter topology whch connects a three-phase voltage source to a three-phase load s shown n Fg.. hs s the ost portant atrx converter topology fro a practcal pont of vew. A atrx converter s an unlted frequency changer, whch can generate both saller and bgger output frequency than nput frequency of the converter. he output voltage wavefors are constructed by pecng together selected segents of the nput voltage wavefors. 8

In ths paper, sulaton results have been presented for only output frequences of 0 and 60 Hz fro an nput of 50 Hz. In Fg. 5 and Fg. 5, output lne-to-lne voltages for 0 and 60 Hz have been respectvely gven. As shown, these voltages have pulses wth swtchng frequency but ther averages consttute a snusodal wavefor. hat s, thrd-haronc njecton does not have a negatve effect on the output lne-to-lne voltages.

Besdes, output current s lag fro output phase voltage due to nductve load. hree phase output currents have been llustrated at outputs of 0 Hz n Fg 8 and 60 Hz n Fg. 8. As shown, load currents are nearly a pure snusodal n the two-frequency and there s a phase dfference of 0 aong the currents. In Fg. 9, wavefors of source voltage, current drawn fro source and load current whch are obtaned usng by the pleented atrx converter odel are gven on the sae axs. As understood fro Fg. 9 and Fg. 9, both frequency of nput voltage and nput current s 50 Hz, even f frequency of output current s 0 Hz or 60 Hz.

CONCLUSION he workng prncple and analyss of the MC that connects drect three-phase source to three-phase load and controlled wth the OAVM ethod has been presented. Modulaton strateges and fundaental atheatcal equatons of the MC have been presented clearly. Also, odelng and sulaton of the OAVM ethod, whch can gve an output voltage wth axu apltude, has been pleented. he desgned odel has satsfactorly gven the behavor of the MC ncludng the pact of the nput flter. he sulaton results show that the odulaton algorth provdes a unty nput dsplaceent factor even f the load has an nductve characterstc. As a result, the Matlab&Sulnk odel presented can be confdently used n the constructon stage of the atrx converter. REFERENCES [] M.
