In this paper, a simple direct torque control (DTC) method for sensorless matrix converter drives is proposed, which is characterized by
a simple structure, minimal torque ripple and unity input power factor. Also a good sensorless speed-control performance in the low
speed operation is obtained, while maintaining constant switching frequency and fast torque dynamics. It is possible to combine the
advantages of matrix converters with the advantages of the DTC strategy using space vector modulation a deadbeat algorithm in the
stator flux reference frame. Experimental results are shown to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed strategy.
