Abstract

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant strategy for indirect matrix converter (IMC) based on the concept of four-leg matrix converter in case of an open-circuit fault in the inverter stage. The proposed strategy can maintain the same output performance as the healthy condition during the faulty condition. Some simulated results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
