Comprehensive analysis of Matrix Converters: Indirect topology

Matrix Converters (MCs) are developed to remove the use of bulky DC links in AC-DC-AC converters to achieve an adjustable AC-AC conversion system. Recently, different MC topologies have been proposed and developed which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Two main topologies of MCs are direct and indirect ones. The direct one has been elaborated in previous work. In this paper the existing topologies of the indirect MCs are reviewed. Different characteristics of the MC topologies are mentioned to show the strengths and weaknesses of such converters.
