Hi Fam and Friends, Im really bad in power electronics as i needed you guys to help me to explain the resulted graph that I've gotten from my simulink. PLEASE help !

Hi guys could u guys please help me explain what is happening on this 3 graphs. I am an electrical student and just to be honest i am not a smart student but I'm willing to learn. Please do help me.Ive got my simulation i managed to generate perfect sin wave but i just couldn't explain on the graphs i simulated.

Hey nathan,

The first graph represents the source voltage:

  • V_source = 300*sin(ωt); where ω = 2π*50 for this case

The second graph represents output of diode bridge rectifier, without a dc-link capacitor (or any other filter):

  • V_dc = abs(300*sin(2ωt))

The third graph represents output of square wave inverter.

  • V_inverter = -Vdc for 0 < ωt < π
  • V_inverter = +Vdc for π < ωt < 2π

However, since the dc-voltages are not filtered, and contains pulsating voltages, the waveform appears sinusoidal.

Hope this helps.

A suggestion: The model you are trying to simulate will perform better with a smaller time step for simulation.
