Digital simulation of a fullwave single-phase convertor system

Steady-state analysis of rectifier systems has been described in the previous literature. However, there is little information available on transient analysis. A transient analysis of a convertor system (to supply reversible direct current) is described here, and the solution is given in a recursive form. The analysis is shown to be easily amenable to digital simulation in order to obtain a fast and accurate solution. The analysis is done first considering an ideal a.c. source, and then by taking the source impedance into account. An example has been worked out to illustrate the method, and the results are shown. It is possible to extend this analysis for a more complicated convertor system including the control variables.
