This paper describes the development of closed loop control techniques for matrix converter fed induction motor drives. A prototype drive rated at 2.5kW is used to demonstrate closed loop speed control using vector control technique. Solutions to the special problems associated with the power circuit and implementation of closed loop control in the matrix converter drive are given. Experimental results demonstrating the control techniques are presented for both motoring and generating operations of the matrix converter drive in transient and steady‐state.

In this study, a single‐phase induction motor with constant v/f, fed by matrix converter, is considered under various frequencies. The modeling of the motor, mechanical load for single phase induction motor and matrix converter have been obtained by using Simulink package program. The performance of the motor under various frequencies is determined. A single‐phase induction motor considered in this work has a running capacitor. The analysis and simulation results are presented.
