The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2017 IEEE. This paper presents the design and analysis of a Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter (M3C) working as a frequency changer to facilitate the deployment of offshore Low Frequency AC (LFAC) transmission system. The converter consists of nine branches, each with n cascaded H-bridge submodules connected in series with the arm inductor. The paper proposes a new energy balance control method, which manages both, the energy of submodules' capacitors and the whole arm. The proposed control method proved its effectiveness under normal and abnormal operating conditions. Selected simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK software is reported in this paper.
