Abstract :
Microturbine-generator is suitable for different distributed generation applications. Due to its high speed, it is necessary to use a frequency converter to deliver the power at 50/60 Hz. In this paper, application of Matrix Converter as microturbine-generator interface converter is addressed. In this way, the interface converter becomes more compact due to omission of dc link capacitor (common in rectifier-inverter interface structure). Also, it is shown by the simulation results that by using matrix converter, quality of the output voltage is enhanced.
