Abstract — Sepic Converter Simulation MATLAB

Sepic Converter Simulation Matlab: Power Electronics, MATLAB/Simulink & Circuit Modeling Integrated Analysis: MATLAB/Simulink · MOSFET/IGBT Gate Drivers · SPWM/SVPWM · THD Spectrum · ~6404 Words Chapter 1: Power Electronics Overview, System Specifications & Topology Modeling Design and Simulation of an Open-Loop SEPIC DC-DC Converter Using MATLAB/Simulink This project presents the design and simulation of an open-loop SEPIC (Single-Ended Primary Inductor Converter) DC-DC converter using MATLAB/Simulink.

Analytical & State-Space Control Methodology

A SEPIC converter is a non-isolated DC-DC converter capable of producing an output voltage that can be greater than, less than, or approximately equal to the input voltage , while maintaining the same output polarity as the input. Figure 1: Power Converter Circuit Schematic & Electrical Interfacing for Sepic Converter Simulation Matlab The converter in this project is controlled using an IGBT switch driven by a PWM Pulse Generator . Since there is no feedback loop from the output to the controller, the converter operates in open-loop control .

Simulink Waveforms & Power Quality Findings

The Simulink model uses a 10 V DC input , 25 kHz switching frequency , and approximately 50% duty cycle . The converter contains two inductors, a coupling capacitor, output capacitor, diode, IGBT, voltage/current measurement blocks, displays, scopes, and powergui .
