Abstract

The matrix converter, which connects the equal phases of source and load directly, is an array of controllable semiconductor switches. Several appealing aspects of this converter have been studied over the past 30 years, from the time it was discovered, coined to applied in the latest progress of power electronics. Since then, other authors have written numerous developments on this subject. The paper analyzes and compiles the important elements of matrix converter operation and establishes the current state of the art in this field of study. The matrix converter's topology, the key control strategies, how bidirectional switches are really used in practice, and commutation schemes are all covered. From the earliest modulations to the most recent, several modulation techniques are covered. Finally, examples of matrix converter applications in various industries are provided. Thus, the paper presents an overview of the Matrix converter which will be referred to as MC.
