Modeling and simulation of a matrix converter / inductive load system

Abstract

In this paper, a system composed of a matrix converter and an inductive load is modeled and simulated using Matlab / Simulink software package. The modulation techniques used for the matrix converter are Venturini and optimum Venturini methods. The voltages and currents waveforms of the system are presented and compared to those obtained from previously published results to validate the simulation process.
