Abstract

In this paper, application of matrix converter for the compensation of reactive power is studied. Matrix converter is direct AC-AC converter composed of solid-state bi-directional switches. Space-vector modulation technique is used to control the matrix converter. Simulation are done in MATLAB/Simulink and filters are used to smooth out the output waveforms. Switching frequency optimization is done and its effect on THD and input/output currents/voltages is observed.
