A new single-phase dual converter using single-phase matrix converter

Abstract

A new single-phase dual converter topology using single-phase matrix converter is presented. The converter is subjected to operating various passive loads during investigations. Basic DC motor models are also simulated to study the behavior and operation of the converter. Boost rectifier technique for power factor improvements are also presented for achieving low total harmonic distortion (THD) level. Selected simulation and experimental results are presented to verify operation.
