Due to its regeneration ability and sinusoidal input current, the matrix converter is superior to the PWM inverter drives. Therefore, it meets the stringent energy-efficiency and power quality requirements of the new century. Following the strong R&D efforts over the last two decades, the matrix converter is now becoming a viable AC-to-AC direct power conversion device that is suitable for a large number of applications. This paper describes the basic operating principles and control method of the matrix converter, and reports the detailed experimental operating characteristics of an 11 kVA matrix converter drive over its full operating range. Through the experimental operating characteristics, the paper illustrates the feasibility of the matrix converter drive as an environment-friendly future-generation drive.
A material handling application is generating about $1,500 per year in electrical savings rather than dissipating the regenerative energy as heat. Additional equipment life cycle savings are also anticipated as a result of the simplified electrical and mechanical designs. These benefits are realized because of the application of the U1000 Industrial Matrix Drive.
Compact Stand-Alone Matrix Drives Replace 18-Pulse Drive: A Massachusetts-based municipal water treatment facility needed to upgrade their aging 350HP 18-pulse drives. They turned to a local Yaskawa drives distributor, who recommended a reliable, compact, and cost effective retrofit with Yaskawa’s U1000 Industrial Matrix Drive. This article details the retrofit, as well as the overall design and functionality that made Matrix drives the choice for the retrofit
Regenerative solutions are safe method of directing energy back onto the line. These systems can pay back the cost of the regenerative device and the variable frequency drive (VFD) operating the motor. This article compares a few of the most common regenerative solutions to present the advantages and disadvantages of each
