one thing that does occur to me, in lieu of a boost converter (and maybe this is what is in your matlab) is to repeatedly reverse the polarity of the battery pack itself via full bridge a-la square wave when feeding the inverter bus (with a capacitive divider). Extra losses but 1/2 the batteries for a given bus voltage, and regen is pretty wonky.
