AB This paper proposes a Direct Matrix Converter operating as a Unified Power Flow Controller(DMC-UPFC) with an advanced control method for UPFC, based on the Lyapunov direct method,presenting good results in power quality assessment. This control method is used for real-timecalculation of the appropriate matrix switching state, determining which switching state should beapplied in the following sampling period. The control strategy takes into account active and reactivepower flow references to choose the vector converter closest to the optimum. Theoretical principlesfor this new real-time vector modulation and control applied to the DMC-UPFC with input filterare established. The method needs DMC-UPFC dynamic equations to be solved just once in eachcontrol cycle, to find the required optimum vector, in contrast to similar control methods that need27 vector estimations per control cycle. The designed controller’s performance was evaluated usingMatlab/Simulink software. Controllers were also implemented using a digital signal processing (DSP)system and matrix hardware. Simulation and experimental results show decoupled transmissionline active (P) and reactive (Q) power control with zero theoretical error tracking and fast response.Output currents and voltages show small ripple and low harmonic content.
