An Extended Control of the Input Angle for Matrix Converters Connected With the Nonunity Power Factor Loads

This article proposes a novel pulsewidth modulation (PWM) modulation algorithm for multiphase conventional matrix converters, with three inputs and
$k$
outputs, using the transfer function of the load angle. The proposed approach extends the range of power angle control at the input during the operation with a maximum voltage transfer ratio. The proposed concept is based on the direct analytic voltage PWM modulation with an elliptical trajectory of reference load voltages. The proposal has been verified using the circuit simulation in PSIM software, symbolic analysis using MATLAB, and finally through an experiment.
