1. INTRODUCTION
Nowadays power electronic converters are arranged in various uses such as industrial, medical,
power system applications, energy transportation, and railway applications. Optimization of power electronic
converter devise and operation is important to improve power processing level to meet the demand and to
develop the quality of power [1]. Among that inverter are extensively used in numerous applications in which
the essential voltage is AC always in nature [2], [3]. Even though most of drives required DC source to
operate in four quadrants, so rectifier prepared to generate DC voltage [4]. Basically for converting AC-AC,
the conventional converters cyclo converter and ac voltage controller utilised, but these converter not able to
provide control on frequency and voltage with reduced harmonics and controlled output AC current [5].
The matrix converter is a to convert AC-AC source with minimized ripple content [6]. It has merit
over conventional rectifier - inverter power frequency combination, with reduced higher order harmonics and
no lower harmonics [7]. The matrix converter has main features are input AC source is fully controlled,
bidirectional energy flow capability, input power factor can be controlled, exclusion of dc link filters and
power devices can be used with zero switching due to that power loss is minimised [8-9]. The main
disadvantage of matrix converter is require more power semiconductor devices compare to traditional
rectifier-inverter pair [10].
Pulse width modulation (PWM) is generally used switching strategy to maintain voltage amplitude
and frequency and fast dynamic response. Due to these conventional PWM methods, the circulating current
in the converter system starts increase [11], [12]. Common mode voltage (CMV) of the converter also
increases; it leads to failure of motor bearings and increase in electromagnetic interference problems.

For eradicate these problems the additional filter components are added, which diminish the power density
and increase initial cost of the system [13], [14]. For several applications the multilevel converters are used to
decrease the CMV issue, at same time complexity increases in PWM switching pulse generation. Due to this
motive, the sinusoidal pulse width modulation and space vector modulation are employed to minimize the
losses and easy to implement. THD of converter decided by switching frequency of the power devices and
maximum power transfer level depends on the nature characteristics of the controller [15].
Single/ three phase IM widely used in home and industrial applications especially at low power
ranges (below 2.5 kW). These type of motors used in variable speed applications, so it requires variable
voltage which can be obtained through matrix converter. For this type of applications, inverter used with
symmetric voltage magnitude and frequency and needs of large dc link capacitors and rectifier circuit.
But matrix converter act as a direct ac-ac converter, which has sinusoidal input current and adjustable output
voltage and frequency.
This projected work elucidates performance of 3-phase matrix converter using space vector pulse
width modulation to control operation of three phase induction motor. It minimizes the effect on the
harmonic fluctuation in AC output voltage and stress on the power switch is reduced.
2. THREE PHASE MATRIX CONVERTER
2.1. Structure
The matrix converter includes 9 bidirectional switches, which allows any output phase voltage is
connected to any input phase voltage. The input 3 phase terminal voltage is connected with three phase
bidirectional switch that reduction in harmonic fluctuation. DC link filters are capacitive filter and inductive
filter are eradicated, due to that cost of system is decrease. 3-phase matrix converter is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Three-phase matrix converter
2.2. Operation of matrix converter
The applied input instantaneous power will not be equal to output power. The difference between
these input and output power should be absorbed or distributed by an energy storage devices like capacitor or
inductor within the converter system. But matrix converter has single stage conversion unit with help of
bidirectional switches instead of using multistage conversion and energy storage devices in the converter.
Matrix converter with bidirectional switch is shown in Figure 2. Due to the absence of energy storage
devices, the instantaneous input power is equal to output power with ideal zero loss switches. The system
consists of 9 bidirectional switches, which are connected as three groups. Each group contains 3 switches and
each bidirectional switch is connected with both input voltage and output voltage.
Totally operation of 3 phase matrix converter has 27 permitted switching modes, in that 18 active
vector modes, 3 zero vector modes, 3 normal vector modes and 3 inverse vector modes. In Figure 3
illustrates, a, b, c are input voltages for bi-directional switches and A, B, C are output voltages of matrix

converter. Here all input phase voltages are connected to output phase voltage. And these bidirectional
switches are switched ON rotational basis, which avoids switching of 2 switches in a same leg.
Figure 2. Matrix converter with bi-directional switch
Figure 3. Matrix converter – zero vector modes
In Figure 3 shows zero vector modes of 3 phase matrix converter and in that all output phases are
connected in single input phase, which leads to damage the system because 3 phase load is connected with 1
phase input. The normal active vector and opposite vector modes are applicable for forward and reverse
operation of induction motor.
3. SPACE VECTOR MODULATION (SVM)
SVM is a switching control method for the power electronic switches which recognize the switching
sequences by assignment of a switching vector in d-q space region [16]. It is enhanced at harmonic content
level diminution and increasing output voltage amplitude as contrast to traditional SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse
Width Modulation), which is generally used. It diminishes the common mode voltage which is the difference
between vector sum of the voltage level potential at power converter system output and ground point [17].
The voltage across proposed matrix converter has minimised voltage fluctuation and reduced harmonic input
current source. Space vector representation for 3-phase power converter is shown in Figure 4.

of power converter depends on voltage stress on the power switches, Figure 13 shows voltage stress across
all the bi-directional switches placed in proposed converter. Basically any PWM technique output of all
phases are in the form pulses wave, so CMV consists of high switching frequency voltage pulses wave of
assured magnitude which emerges between with phase and the ground point.

For several applications the multilevel converters are used to decrease the CMV issue, at same time complexity increases in PWM switching pulse generation. Due to this motive, the sinusoidal pulse width modulation and space vector modulation are employed to minimize the losses and easy to implement. THD of converter decided by switching frequency of the power devices and maximum power transfer level depends on the nature characteristics of the controller [15]. Single/ three phase IM widely used in home and industrial applications especially at low power ranges (below 2.5 kW). These type of motors used in variable speed applications, so it requires variable voltage which can be obtained through matrix converter. For this type of applications, inverter used with symmetric voltage magnitude and frequency and needs of large dc link capacitors and rectifier circuit. But matrix converter act as a direct ac-ac converter, which has sinusoidal input current and adjustable output voltage and frequency. This projected work elucidates performance of 3-phase matrix converter using space vector pulse width modulation to control operation of three phase induction motor. It minimizes the effect on the harmonic fluctuation in AC output voltage and stress on the power switch is reduced. 2. THREE PHASE MATRIX CONVERTER 2.1. Structure The matrix converter includes 9 bidirectional switches, which allows any output phase voltage is connected to any input phase voltage. The input 3 phase terminal voltage is connected with three phase bidirectional switch that reduction in harmonic fluctuation. DC link filters are capacitive filter and inductive filter are eradicated, due to that cost of system is decrease. 3-phase matrix converter is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Three-phase matrix converter 2.2. Operation of matrix converter The applied input instantaneous power will not be equal to output power. The difference between these input and output power should be absorbed or distributed by an energy storage devices like capacitor or inductor within the converter system. But matrix converter has single stage conversion unit with help of bidirectional switches instead of using multistage conversion and energy storage devices in the converter. Matrix converter with bidirectional switch is shown in Figure 2. Due to the absence of energy storage devices, the instantaneous input power is equal to output power with ideal zero loss switches. The system consists of 9 bidirectional switches, which are connected as three groups. Each group contains 3 switches and each bidirectional switch is connected with both input voltage and output voltage. Totally operation of 3 phase matrix converter has 27 permitted switching modes, in that 18 active vector modes, 3 zero vector modes, 3 normal vector modes and 3 inverse vector modes. In Figure 3 illustrates, a, b, c are input voltages for bi-directional switches and A, B, C are output voltages of matrix

Here all input phase voltages are connected to output phase voltage. And these bidirectional switches are switched ON rotational basis, which avoids switching of 2 switches in a same leg. Figure 2. Matrix converter with bi-directional switch Figure 3. Matrix converter – zero vector modes In Figure 3 shows zero vector modes of 3 phase matrix converter and in that all output phases are connected in single input phase, which leads to damage the system because 3 phase load is connected with 1 phase input. The normal active vector and opposite vector modes are applicable for forward and reverse operation of induction motor. 3. SPACE VECTOR MODULATION (SVM) SVM is a switching control method for the power electronic switches which recognize the switching sequences by assignment of a switching vector in d-q space region [16]. It is enhanced at harmonic content level diminution and increasing output voltage amplitude as contrast to traditional SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation), which is generally used. It diminishes the common mode voltage which is the difference between vector sum of the voltage level potential at power converter system output and ground point [17]. The voltage across proposed matrix converter has minimised voltage fluctuation and reduced harmonic input current source. Space vector representation for 3-phase power converter is shown in Figure 4.
