Abstract

This paper introduces the characteristics of the three-phase full-controlled bridge rectifier
circuit, and MATLAB / Simulink module for the full control of three-phase bridge rectifier

circuit is narrated briefly, the model for the three-phase bridge full-controlled rectifier circuits
has been made, MATLAB software were used for different firing angle, different trigger
pulse when the circuit was simulated the output waveform when the firing angle change, or
6 pulses synchronized trigger pulse width is changed. The simulation system for the threephase full-controlled bridge rectifier circuit system is of great help for theoretical study and
program design.

INTRODUCTION

his chapter presents the fundamental properties and capabilities of the

computational and
simulation tool MATLAB.The purpose of this chapter is to
introduce beginners to MATLAB and familiarize them with the basic structure of this

software. To make this introduction more acess -ible, only a few elementary
mathematical concepts from Linear algebra (vector and matrix cal -culations) and
the analysis of elementary Functions will be assumed.
At this point we will avoid more advanced concepts, especially those provided By
the MATLAB function libraries (the so-called toolboxes), since they Require more
extensive knowledge of mathematics, signal processing, control Technology, and
many other disciplines, and are there -fore inappropriate for The beginning students
for whom this introduction is intended.

2.1 WHAT IS MATLAB?

MATLAB is a numerical computation and simulation tool that was developed
into a
commercial tool with a user friendly interface from the numerical function
libraries LINPACK and EISPACK, which were originally written in the FORTRAN
programming language.
As opposed to the well-known computer algebra programs, such as MAPLE or
MATHEMATICA, which are capable of performing symbolic operations and, therefore,
calculating with mathematical equations as a person would normally do with paper
and pencil, in principle MATLAB does purely numerical calculations. Nevertheless,
computer algebra functionally can be achieved within the MATLAB environment
using the so-called symbolic toolbox. This capability is a permanent component of
MATLAB 7 and is also provided in the student version ofMATLAB7. It involves an
adaptation of MAPLE to the MATLAB language

2.2 INTRODUCTION TO MATLAB & SIMULINK

Computer algebra programs require complex data structures that involve
complicated syntax for the ordinary user and complex programs for the
programmer. The MATLAB, on the other hand, essentially only involves a single data
structure, upon which all its operations are based. This is the numerical field, or in
other words, the matrix. This is reflected in the name:- MATLAB is an abbreviation
for MATrix LABoratory.
As MATLAB developed, this principle gradually led to a universal programming
language. In MATLAB 7 far more complex data structures can be defined, such as
the case data structure structure, which is similar to the data structure struct of the
C++ programming language, or from the so-called cell arrays to the definition of
classes in object oriented programming.
Except for structures and cell arrays, in this elementary introduction we will not
consider the more advanced capabilities of MATLAB programming, such as object
oriented
programming and defining certain classes. This would require an extensive
background in programming beyond the scope of the present introduction. If one
limits oneself the basic data structure of the matrix, then MATLAB syntax remains
very simple and MATLAB programs can be written far more easily than programs in
other high level languages&computer algebra programs. A command interface

created for interactive management without much ado, plus a simple integration of
particular functions, programs, and libraries supports the operation of this software
tool. This also makes it possible to learn MATLAB rapidly. As we have already noted,
MATLABis not just a numerical tool for evaluation of formulas, but is also an
independent programming language capable of treating complex problems and is
equipped with all essential constructs of a higher programming language. Since the
MATLAB command interface involves a so-called interpreter and MATLAB is an
interpreter language, all commands can be carried out directly. This makes the
testing of particular programs much easier. Beyond this, MATLAB 7 is also equipped
with a very well conceived editor with debugging functionality, which makes the
writing and error analysis of large MATLAB programs even easier. The last major
advantage is the interaction with the special toolbox Simulink, which we shall
introduce. This is a tool for constructing simulation programs based on a graphical
interface in a way similar to block All data structures (there are 15 different kinds of
them) can usually be subsumed under the concept of a field (array). Thus, MATLAB yields
ARRLAB (ARRay LABoratory). From this concept it follows that the numerical field and,
therefore, the classical matrix, is essentially just a special case.

2.3 Key Features

High-level language for numerical computation, visualization, and application development

Interactive environment for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving

Mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimization,
numerical integration, and solving ordinary differential equations

Built-in graphics for visualizing data and tools for creating custom plots

Development tools for improving code quality and maintainability and maximizing
performance

Tools for building applications with custom graphical interfaces

Functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external applications and
languages such as C, Java, .NET, and Microsoft Excel

2.4 The MATLAB Language

The MATLAB language provides native support for the vector and matrix operations that are
fundamental to solving engineering and scientific problems, enabling fast development and
execution.
With the MATLAB language, you can write programs and develop algorithms faster than
with traditional languages because you do not need to perform low-level administrative tasks
such as declaring variables, specifying data types, and allocating memory. In many cases, the
support for vector and matrix operations eliminates the need for for-loops. As a result, one
line of MATLAB code can often replace several lines of C or C++ code.
MATLAB provides features of traditional programming languages, including flow control,
error handling, and object-oriented programming (OOP). You can use fundamental data types
or advanced data structures, or you can define custom data types.
You can produce immediate results by interactively executing commands one at a time. This
approach lets you quickly explore multiple options and iterate to an optimal solution. You can
capture interactive steps as scripts and functions to reuse and automate your work.
MATLAB add-on products provide built-in algorithms for signal processing and
communications, image and video processing, control systems, and many other domains. By
combining these algorithms with your own, you can build complex programs and
applications.
