Modelling and simulation of a single-phase AC-AC matrix converter using SPWM

Abstract

This paper presents work carried out in developing computer simulation models using the Power System Block Set (PSB) within the MATLab/Simulink (MLS) environment. Its powerful filter design tools, signal processing capabilities are used to illustrate the convenience of modelling and simulation. The SPMC as a direct frequency changer were used in this work with the output being synthesized using the well-known SPWM technique. A comparison was made with SPICE and has shown that results in PSB were in good agreement from simulations carried out.
