Description

The Average-Value Voltage Source Converter block converts electrical energy from AC to DC voltage or from DC to AC voltage according to an input single-phase modulation wave. You can specify the modulation wave directly or through phasor quantities such as the magnitude and phase shift. The corresponding input power is equal to the output power.

This block can work in both time and frequency-and-time simulation modes. For more information, see Frequency and Time Simulation Mode.
