AC/DC Matrix Converter With an Optimized Modulation Strategy for V2G Applications

To adapt the battery voltage and increase charging efficiency in vehicle to grid (V2G) systems, an ac/dc matrix converter topology is presented. Aim to solve the problem of relatively large charging current ripple in the classical current space vector modulation strategy, a sectional optimized modulation strategy, is proposed, which can reduce the charging current ripple within the whole output range. And the comparative analysis is carried out between them. A simple controller with active damping is briefly introduced; it can work at two charging modes: constant voltage charging and constant current charging. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.
