A matrix converter produces significant harmonics and nonstandard frequency components into load. The proposed approach eliminates the total load voltage harmonic distortions efficiently. The smaller THD, the harmonic pollution in the power system will be reduced and the power quality will be increased. The proposed approach has been tested and validated on the matrix converter using Matlab Simulink software. The simulation results are shown to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed scheme. ER -
