 A novel predictive current control for a sparse matrix converter is presented. The sparse matrix converter is a AC-AC power conversion system. The predictive current control uses a model of the system to predict the future value of load current and generates the reference voltage vector that minimizes a given cost function so that SVM(Space Vector Modulation) is achieved. The results show that the predictive strategy for space sparse matrix converter controls the load current very effectively and performs very well.
