The input power factor control of a carrier-based dipolar PWM for matrix converters

Abstract

This paper presents the input power factor control of a modulation using a carrier-based dipolar for matrix converters by determining the optimum value of free parameters, b and d, in general solutions of the modulation matrix. The proposed PWM method is not only less complicated but can clearly show the coupling of the input power factor control from both active and reactive output power. The experimental results show that the proposed PWM method can control the conditioned input power factor set earlier
