AC to AC Converters: Modelling, Simulation, and Real-Time Implementation Using SIMULINK (R)

Power electronic converters can be classified as AC to DC, DC to AC, DC to DC, and AC to AC. AC controllers and cycloconverters are fabricated using Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR), while matrix converters are built using semiconductor bidirectional switches. This text book provides a summary of AC to AC Converter modelling excluding AC controllers, using Simulink® by Mathworks Inc., USA. It is suitable for researchers and practising professional engineers in the industry working in the area of AC to AC converters.
