RT Journal Article T1 An assessment of predictive current control applied to the direct matrix converter based on SiC-MOSFET bidirectional switches A1 Maqueda, Edgar Marcial A1 Toledo Gallardo, Sergio Ramón A1 Gregor Recalde, Raúl Igmar A1 Caballero Morilla, David Domingo A1 Gavilán Amarilla, Federico José A1 Rodas Benítez, Jorge Esteban A1 Rivera, Marco A1 Wheeler, P. A2 Universidad Nacional de Asunción - Facultad de Ingeniería A2 Universidad de Talca - Faculty of Engineering A2 University of Nottingham - Dep. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering AB Matrix converters are devices that allow the management of bidirectional flows of energy with reduced size, increased useful life and high efficiency in ac-ac energy conversion systems. In this paper the experimental results obtained after the application of a predictive current control technique for a SiC-MOSFET based direct matrix converter feeding an isolated load are presented. The results obtained are compared with a scheme based on IGBT technology in terms of power consumption and total harmonic distortion.
