Microgrids are a suitable, reliable and clean solution to integrate distributed generation into
the mains grid. Microgrids can present both AC and DC distribution lines. The type of …

This paper presents a review of the current state of the art in terms of practical matrix
converter technologies. Present solutions to the numerous technological issues and …

This paper introduces the methodology and the results of a comprehensive comparison of a
direct matrix converter (MC), an indirect MC, and a voltage dc-link back-to-back converter for …

This paper extends the Z-source concept to matrix converters and explores a family of Z-
source matrix converters. Their principles and characteristics are analyzed, and a simplified …

This paper proposes a modified LLC resonant load configuration of a full-bridge inverter for
induction-heating applications. The LLC load configuration is a combination of a series …

Despite the ability of matrix converters (MCs) to generate a higher number of voltage vectors
compared with standard voltage-source inverters, most of the applications reported in the …

This paper deals with the design, control, and implementation of a three-phase ground
power-supply unit for aircraft servicing. Instead of a classical back-to-back converter …

The Matrix Converter (MC) evolved from the forced commutated cycloconverters and has
been extensively investigated for more than thirty years. In this publication, the milestones in …

Turn-on performance of a reverse blocking insulated gate bipolar transistor (RB IGBT) is
discussed in this paper. The RB IGBT is a specially designed IGBT having ability to sustain …

Most of the ac–ac converters used in home appliances are based on single-output dc-link
inverters, which provide a cost-effective and straightforward solution. However, a two-stage …
