A single-stage isolated bidirectional matrix based AC-DC converter for energy storage

Abstract:

This paper presents a three-phase single-stage bidirectional isolated matrix based AC-DC converter for energy storage. The matrix (3 × 1) topology directly converts the three-phase line voltages into high-frequency AC voltage which is subsequently, processed using a high-frequency transformer followed by a controlled rectifier. A modified Space Vector Modulation (SVM) based switching scheme is proposed to achieve high input power quality with high power conversion efficiency. Compared to the conventional two stage converter, the proposed converter provides single-stage conversion resulting in higher power conversion efficiency and higher power density. The operating principles of the proposed converter in both AC-DC and DC-AC mode are explained followed by steady state analysis. Simulation results are presented for 230 V, 50 Hz to 48 V isolated bidirectional converter at 2 kW output power to validate the theoretical claims.
