Modelling and simulation of matrix converter based DC-DC converter

This paper presents modelling and simulation of DC-DC converter with matrix converter as its basic topology. The proposed converter performs the four quadrant chopper operation. This topology can perform many different converter functions. This DC-DC converter can be utilized in speed control of dc motor in electric automobiles and traction where supply is dc voltage. The simulation model was developed in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Pulse width modulation technique is used for output synthesis of the converter. The analysis of converter was done considering resistive and inductive both loads separately. Finally, state space model is presented.
