A Novel Carrier-Based PWM Scheme for Matrix Converters that is Easy to Implement

Since the inception of matrix converter concept, various modulation schemes have been proposed for its control. But the explanation of matrix converter operation is complex, and so is the control methodology of it. In this paper a 3-phase to 3-phase matrix converter is explained from the point of view of multi-level inverter topology, and a novel modulation scheme is proposed where the need for sector information and corresponding look-up tables is avoided
