1-phase controlled rectifier

In the circuit shown below $v_a=220\sqrt 2 \sin (\omega\,t)$ and $v_b=220\sqrt 2 \sin (\omega\,t-\pi)$. For a firing angle of 45 degree, determine the average voltage across the load, $v_o$.

We now replace the strings such as \$L with the values of our choice by running the python script given below. It takes an existing circuit file controlled_rectifier_1ph_7_orig.in and produces a new circuit file controlled_rectifier_1ph_7.in, after replacing \$L (etc) with values of our choice.

The circuit file (controlled_rectifier_1ph_7.in) is created in the same directory as that used for launching Jupyter notebook. The last step (i.e., running GSEIM on controlled_rectifier_1ph_7.in) creates a data file called controlled_rectifier_1ph_7.dat in the same directory. We can now use the python code below to compute/plot the various quantities of interest.
