A novel compensation method based on fuzzy logic control for matrix converter under distorted input voltage conditions

Matrix converter (MC) is a direct energy conversation device without dc-link components. Therefore, the output of the converter is directly affected by the disturbances in the input voltages. Many researchers have made an effort to overcome this problem. In this paper, the behaviors of the MC have been investigated under the distorted input voltage conditions. A fuzzy logic control (FLC) based novel compensation method is proposed, which performs close loop control of the output current to improve the output performance of the MC. Some results are presented to prove the effectiveness of the proposed compensation technique. © 2008 IEEE.
