This paper proposes an ultra-modified SSA (symmetric sequence algorithm) of space vector modulation of MC (matrix converter). The ultra-modified technique improves the drawbacks of the modified one where it provides a reduction of the total harmonic distortion for both output voltage and current. Also this paper proposes a modified feed forward controller of the MC with indirect space vector modulation. The modified feed forward provides a solution for the change in the output voltage due to change in wind speed, where it provides a constant output voltage with constant frequency even if the wind speed changed. Some of the advantages of MC are introduced in this paper. These advantages represented in the output frequency of MC which may be greater than the input frequency, controlling rms value of the output voltage and the ability to control the IDF (input displacement factor). At the end of this paper simulation and experimental results are introduced which give a precise proof to the proposed algorithms.
