Digital firing control for high power thyristor converter

The conventional analog-based firing circuit can be implemented by comparing a linearly decreasing periodic sawtooth waveform synchronized to the ac line, with a voltage corresponding to the desired converter delay angle. This circuit requires a large number of components (resistance and capacitor) and careful adjustment of the synchronization circuity In this paper a novel firing circuit is proposed for thyristor switch is elements. The proposed circuit is implemented on the basis of the analog cosine method using FPGA and microprocessor.
