Abstract

This paper presents the concepts of three phase matrix converter based power electronic transformer for electric traction applications. The proposed high frequency Power Electronic Transformer (PET) will regulate the voltage level of the crossing train. The power electronic transformer with three phase matrix converter is used to step up frequency at the primary side and single phase matrix converter is to step down frequency at the secondary side for catenary. Power Electronic Transformer has several advantages over conventional solid state 50 Hz transformer. The control technique adopted is Space Vector Modulation (SVM) Technique for three phase matrix converter and Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SVM) for single phase matrix converter. The results of the Power Electronic Transformer along with the filters have been presented in this paper. The proposed topology has been implemented in the MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the desired results of the converter topology were verified.

Keywords
