<Li> Matrix Converter: Currently the application of matrix converters are limited due to non-availability of bilateral monolithic switches capable of operating at high frequency, complex control law implementation, commutation and other reasons . With these developments, matrix converters could replace cycloconverters in many areas . </Li> <Li> DC Link: Can be used for individual or multiple load applications of machine building and construction . </Li> <P> Power electronic circuits are simulated using computer simulation programs such as PLECS, PSIM and MATLAB / simulink . Circuits are simulated before they are produced to test how the circuits respond under certain conditions . Also, creating a simulation is both cheaper and faster than creating a prototype to use for testing . </P> <P> Applications of power electronics range in size from a switched mode power supply in an AC adapter, battery chargers, audio amplifiers, fluorescent lamp ballasts, through variable frequency drives and DC motor drives used to operate pumps, fans, and manufacturing machinery, up to gigawatt - scale high voltage direct current power transmission systems used to interconnect electrical grids. Power electronic systems are found in virtually every electronic device . For example: </P>
