Claim 7:
8. A method of generating a control strategy for a matrix converter, the method comprising:
with one or more processors:
obtaining a target output transformation result representing a mathematical transformation result of a desired multi-phase output current of a matrix converter;
identifying, based on one or more of output voltage and desired input current, a reduced set of switching states from a set of possible switching states of the matrix converter;
obtaining, for each switching state in the reduced set of switching states of the matrix converter, a predicted output transformation result representing a mathematical transformation result of a predicted output current for the switching state; and
identifying from the reduced set of switching states at least three switching states having corresponding predicted output transformation results that, when mapped using a Cartesian co-ordinate system, have positions defining an area that contains a position of the target output transformation result, at least one of the at least three switching states corresponding to a zero switching state; and
generating a control strategy for the matrix converter based on the at least three switching states.
