Abstract

Multi-phase wind generation systems are emerging as a promising technology for distributed generation systems. These systems can present unbalanced voltages or phase faults for several reasons. In this paper a modular three-phase direct matrix converter topology is used as conversion stage in a six-phase generation system to supply the desired current to a load. To achieve a reliable performance in the conversion stage, an improved predictive current control is proposed that take advantage of the modularity of the converter to enhance the behavior and to provide the capability to work continuously even under unbalance in the source or during fault operation of the generation system whilst achieving the desired tracking and power quality. The technique is compared against a classical approach to show the benefits of the proposed.
