Research in renewable energy sources has seen an incremental trend for its various advantages over conventional energy sources. Photovoltaic generation system acquires the maximum market share in the energy systems employing the renewable energies. The low efficiency in terms of the output voltage is a prime disadvantage of the photovoltaic generation system. On the other hand, the industries in the majority make use of equipment requiring high voltage input. Considering the requirement of high voltage input for industrial application and the low-voltage constraint of the Photovoltaic (PV) generation system, this paper proposes a modelling and simulation of DC-DC boost converter and three-phase inverter in MATLAB SIMULINK. The circuit is designed based on the traditional standard circuits of the converter and inverter. The investigation resulted the development of an accurate model but also compact compared to other designs. Additionally, this will allow the power electronics circuit simulated beforehand in any experiment-based work.
