Analysis of Current Control Techniques in an Indirect Matrix Converter

In recent years new modulation and control techniques have appeared for matrix converters, which take advantage of new technological advances in microcontrollers and signal processors. This article makes a comparison of two control techniques for an indirect matrix converter. The comparison is done in simulation using Matlab-Simulink. It is evidenced that both control techniques operate well in steady and transient state, being the predictive control technique an alternative to traditional control strategies.
