Hello Sir,
In my syllabus of Power Electronics, I have a topic which goes by the name "Bidirectional AC to DC voltage source converters". I have studied the Phase controlled rectifiers but did not find the topic mentioned explicitly there. I doubt if this topic corresponds to Fully-Controlled rectifier configuration, for in this case, the circuit operates in the first and the fourth quadrant. In the first quadrant, +ve V and +ve I, and in the fourth quadrant, -ve V and +ve I, for the load connected. In the fourth quadrant operation of the rectifier, power is fed back to the source, because the power absorbed is -ve by the load. And in the first quadrant, power is absorbed by the load from the source. This is a bidirectional phenomena. But I'm not sure if this converter only corresponds to the "Bidirectional AC to DC voltage source converters". Help will be greatly appreciated.
