A Simple Current Control Strategy for a Four-Leg Indirect Matrix Converter (2014)
Journal Article
Garcia, C., Rivera, M., Lopez, M., Rodriguez, J., Pena, R., Wheeler, P., & Espinoza, J. (2015). A Simple Current Control Strategy for a Four-Leg Indirect Matrix Converter. IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 30(4), 2275-2287. https://doi.org/10.1109/tpel.2014.2321562

In this paper the experimental validation of a predictive current control strategy for a four-leg indirect matrix converter is presented. The four-leg indirect matrix converter can supply energy to an unbalanced three-phase load whilst providing a pa...
