Optimum control of N-input K-output matrixconverters

Significant developments of the general optimum control theory presented in a previous paper by the authors (1988) are discussed for the specific case of multiphase matrix converters. Results hold, regardless of system configuration, input and output voltage waveforms, and loads. Applications to the most practical converter structures are illustrated, and implementation criteria of the optimum control method are derived. Simulated results confirm the flexibility and effectiveness of the approach
