Matrix Converter: A Power Quality Conditioner

In this paper, a Matrix Converter (MC) a forced commutated converter which makes directly Ac to Ac Power conversion is simulated using Matlab& Simulink. Here we are analyzing the fundamentals of Matrix Converters, different models of Matrix converters. This method provides the amplitude of output voltage upto 87 % of input voltage. Here along with the matrix converter a hybrid filter is used& a comparison of results are presented. The obtained results prove that the power quality of power system can be improved with the use of matrix converter along with hybrid filter.
