Abstract:
In modern era, the Power Electronics field and power conversion system has
appear as a crucial technology in the industrial automation. In the industrial
process, a power converter is an electrical circuit that alters the electric energy
from one specific form into the desired form for the specific load. The point of
this work is to depict the comparison with analyzation between the practices of
Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) versus a conventional Cyclo-converter
as an AC to AC frequency converter impose to passive load arrangement. The
implementation of the SPMC and the Cyclo-converter had been designed and
realized by synthesizing the output utilizing the well-known Sinusoidal Pulse
Width Modulation (SPWM) technique with IGBTs as power switching unit for
the SPMC, while for Cyclo-converter a MOSFET were used as power switching
device. To demonstrate the validity of results, simulations were finished by
implies of the SimPowerSystem in Simscape toolbox within the MATLAB/
SIMULINK software package. The final result indicate that both topologies able
to perform an AC to AC frequency converter operation. The Total Harmonic
Distortion (THD) percentage for the SPMC topology is smaller than the
conventional Cyclo-converter topology as shown by the MATLAB Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT) analysis.
