The Optimal PWM Modulation and Commutation Scheme for a Three-Phase Isolated Buck Matrix-Type Rectifier

摘要

This paper first starts with reviewing several commonly practiced PWM schemes for the three-phase isolated buck matrix-type rectifier. Then, an optimal six-segment PWM scheme (“Type A”) is proposed. The analysis shows “Type A” PWM scheme has lower duty-cycle loss, maximum output inductor current ripple, and minimum switching loss comparing with other PWM schemes when the mosfet devices are employed. In addition, a low input current total harmonic distortion (THD) can be achieved with duty-cycle compensation. Finally, the steady-state analysis of duty-cycle loss, inductor current ripple, and THD are all compared and verified by the experimental results for “Type A” PWM and eight-segment PWM (“Type E”).
