Development Of Boost Inverter Using Single Phase Matrix Converter Topology

Abstract

This paper presents the development of boost inverter using a single phase matrix converter (SPMC). A new switching algorithm was developed to control the SPMC circuit topology to operate as a boost inverter. The pulse width modulation (PWM) technique was used to calculate the switching duty ratio to synthesize the output. As part of boost inverter operation, a safe-commutation switching algorithm has been applied to avoid the voltage and current spikes due to the effect of inductive loads. The simulation of the proposed converter was carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Selected simulation are presented to verify the proposed operation.

Modeling and simulation of DC to DC boost converter using single phase matrix converter topology

“…Therefore, safe commutation strategy need to be implemented in preventing the occurrence of voltage spike. Through a study conducted on Boost Inverter using SPMC topology, it is proven that with the implementation of safe commutation strategy, spikes were successfully eliminated [15]. The single phase version of Matrix Converter is known as Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) which was first realized by Zuckerberger [16].…”
