Modelling & Simulation of Single-phase Matrix Converter as a Frequency Changer with Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation Using MATLAB/Simulink

This paper presents work on modelling & simulation of single-phase matrix converter (SPMC) as a frequency changer modulated by the Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) subjected to passive load condition. The model was implemented using MATLAB/Simulink with the SimPowerSystem Block Set. Comparisons with Pspice are made. The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) was used for the switching device. Safe-communication strategy was implemented to solve switching transients with sample verification on results.
