Matlab Simulation of single phase half-controlled converter.

MATLAB simulation of a single-phase half-controlled converter using two thyristors and two diodes to convert AC to DC.

Matlab Simulation of single phase half-controlled converter.

Description:

This MATLAB simulation demonstrates the working of a single-phase half-controlled converter. The converter consists of two thyristors and two diodes, which work together to convert AC to DC. The thyristors are phase-controlled, allowing for controlled output voltage and current. The circuit includes:

• AC Source: Provides input voltage to the converter.
• Thyristors: Used for phase control to regulate output.
• Diodes: Facilitate freewheeling and prevent reverse current.
• Load: Typically resistive (RL) to demonstrate the effect of controlled rectification.

Key Features:

✅ Phase angle control for output voltage regulation

✅ Half-controlled bridge configuration

✅ Simulation includes gate triggering and conduction analysis

Applications:

✔️ DC motor drives

✔️ Battery charging

✔️ Power supplies
