<span lang="EN-US">Solid-State Transformer (S2T) also known as Power Electronic Transformer (PET) is applied in various industrial fields compared to the conventional transformer due to it flexible voltage transfer ratio, high power density, and low harmonic distortion. This paper presents the S2T of Single Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) that acts as cyclo-converter. A 1kHz frequency was synthesized on the primary side of the transformer using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique, whilst, the output converted by the SPMC that produces the 50Hz frequency. A part of AC to AC operation, the switching algorithm for safe-commutation technique is also presented to solve the commutation problem caused by the usage of inductive load.

The paper describes the use of a single-phase three-stage solid-state transformer in networks with non-sinusoidal voltages in order to improve the quality of electricity. An active-inductive load was chosen as the load. The solid-state transformer was simulated by the Matlab/Simulink software. Its performance was analyzed and the parameters for optimal performance were specified. The voltage and current graphs on the load and their spectral analysis are given. Total harmonic distortion was evaluated for current and voltage. As a comparison, the operation of a classic transformer was simulated. Modeling shows that solid-state transformer copes with improving the quality of electricity better than a classical transformer. In addition to improving the quality of the load current, the solid-state transformer protects the consumer from overvoltage, voltage dips, and other transient phenomena, due to the accumulated supply of electricity in the capacitors of the DC-Bus.

<span>Single-Phase Matrix Converter (SPMC) is an advanced circuit topology that offer advantages such as the capability to regenerate energy back to the input, sinusoidal input and output current and a manageable input current displacement factor. By considering the opportunity of an advanced SPMC topology, further exploration on DC to DC operation is proposed. The four-quadrant operation of switching algorithm was developed to control the SPMC circuit. The voltage and current profile of each quadrant was investigated to validate the proposed switching control algorithm. As part of four quadrants DC to DC operation, the safe commutation switching algorithm was also developed in order to solve the commutation problem due to the used of an inductive load. The pulse width modulation (PWM) techniques was utilized to synthesize the output of the proposed converter. Results from MATLAB/Simulink are presented to validate the proposed circuit operation.</span>

Prevalent converters for induction heating (IH) applications employ two-stage conversion for generating high-frequency magnetic field, namely, AC to DC and then DC to high-frequency AC (HFAC). This research embarks upon a direct conversion of utility AC to high frequency AC with the design of a single-phase matrix converter (SPMC) as a resonant converter using a modified switching technique for IH application. The efficacy of the proposed approach is validated through different attributes such as unity power factor, sinusoidal input current and low total harmonic distortion (THD). The developed prototype-embedded system has high pragmatic deployment potential owing to its cost effectiveness using Arduino mega 2560 and high voltage/current as well as low switching time IXRH40N120 insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). Different results of the prototype-embedded system for IH application have been verified using Matlab Simulink environment to corroborate its efficacy.

Generally, AC-AC converters are implemented using thyristors. These converters generate harmonics and have a low power factor. To eliminate these problems matrix converters (MC) are become used as AC-AC converter. Matrix converters have the capability of being used as frequency changer, rectifier, inverter and chopper. In this work, it is proposed to achieve the desired output of AC-AC Boost converter using single phase matrix converter (SPMC). The operation of single-phase AC-AC boost converter using MC is studied in this paper. The output voltage of this boost converter is higher than the AC input supply voltage. insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are used as the switching elements in the SPMC power circuit. Sinusoidal Pulse width modulation (SPWM) technique is applied to generate switching signals to obtain the output voltage. The model of the matrix converter is constructed in MATLAB/Simulink programming software package. The behavior of SPMC is simulated with various switching frequencies. The simulation results together with harmonic spectrum and total harmonic distortion (THD) values are presented. Successful operation of boost SPMC is achieved.

Simulation of single phase buck boost rectifier with reduced input current THD using single phase matrix converter topology is describing in this paper. Due to the bidirectional feather the operation for buck-boost rectifier can be made through matrix converter topology. And this is possible by the proper switching algorithm to control the switches for their boost and buck operation. The input current nature is almost sinusoidal with low current total current harmonics and the level of THD is below than limit that was defined in the standards of IEEE. With the proper variation in modulation index corresponding changes in the output voltage is observed of buck-boost rectifier. For the synthesis of the output voltage Pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is used. The simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink are providing to validate the feasibility of this proposed method

Abstract This paper deals with implementation of a single-phase three level converter system under low voltage condition. The frequency of the switches is made constant and involves change in ${t_{on}}$ and ${t_{off}}$ duration. For this condition the pulse width modulation control scheme for a single phase three level rectifier is developed to improve the power quality. The hysteresis current control technique is adopted to bring forth three-level PWM on the dc side of the bridge rectifier and to achieve high power factor and low harmonic distortion. Based on the proposed control scheme, the line current is driven to follow the sinusoidal current command which is in phase with the supply voltage. By using three-level voltage pattern the blocking voltage of each power device is clamped to half of the dc link voltage. The simulation and experimental results of 20W converter under low input voltage condition are shown to verify the circuit performance. Open loop simulation and hardware tests are implemented by applying a low voltage of 15 V(rms) on the input side.
