This conversion is usually done using the traditional converter consisting of rectifier and inverter linked by a storage element normally the electrolytic capacitor which makes the converter bulky and reduces the reliability of the system. Hence, to overcome this drawback, Matrix Converters are gaining the researchers attention as an alternative to the traditional converters. The Matrix converter is the most versatile converter and has many advantages over the other converters such as it directly convert AC to AC without any dc link, has compact design, bi-directional power flow capability, generate high quality desired waveform. In this thesis the fundamental of Matrix Converter, its switching conditions and the different bi-directional switches which are used in Matrix Converter are discussed. The Matrix Converter has many modulation techniques invented up till now but the most efficient is the Space Vector Modulation technique, In the terms of the Matrix Converter, the Space Vector Modulation technique is of two types Direct Space Vector Modulation and Indirect Space Vector Modulation and both the Direct and Indirect space vector modulation have been discussed in detail in this work with its implementation using the MATLAB/Simulink environment and from the results and analysis it has been concluded that the Indirect Matrix Converter has higher THD for input and output currents as compare to the Direct Matrix Converter.ennullThesis
