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.
