Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to reduce the input current distortion. When a generator is connected to the input side of the matrix converter, the operation of the matrix conveter becomes unstable due to the generator's output inpedance. In order to avoid this unstable operation, we proposed new control method witch can reduce the input current distortion.The matrix converter has to control the input power factor when the generator is connected to the input side. Because the operation of the generator depends on the input power factor of the matrix converter. Therefore, the matrix converter has to control both of input current distortion and input power factor.
