Abstract
A matrix convertor includes a power convertor and a controller. The power convertor is disposed between a power system and a rotating electric machine, and includes a plurality of bidirectional switches. The controller is configured to control an exciting current flowing from the power convertor to the rotating electric machine so as to control a power factor on a side of the power system.
