Abstract
A matrix converter system and control method includes a matrix converter, a generator, a plurality of output capacitors, and a controller. The matrix converter includes a plurality of switches and is connected between a multiphase input and a multiphase output. The plurality of output capacitors are connected between the multiphase output and ground. The generator is connected to the multiphase input and includes internal inductances. The controller is configured to control the plurality of switches to control active current and reactive current from the generator based on the internal inductances of the generator. The active and reactive currents are controlled to charge the plurality of output capacitors. The matrix converter operates in a current control mode and is able to boost output voltage above the input voltage level.
