The matrix converter (MC) is a single-stage power converter, capable of feeding directly a m-phase load from a n-phase source (n × m MC) without energy storage devices [1].
The most relevant features of a MC are:
These are the characteristics of an ideal converter and this is the reason for the great interest in this topology, which has been intensively studied for approximately three decades, starting with the pioneering work of Venturini and Alesina [2, 3]. This chapter will explain the working principle of the MC and will introduce the application of predictive control to control the waveform of the load and input currents.
