MATLAB Simulation of AC Voltage Controllers

Introduction:
AC Voltage controller (ac line voltage controllers) is a type of thyristor power converter which is
used to convert a fixed voltage, fixed frequency ac input supply to a variable voltage ac output. The RMS
value of the ac output voltage and the ac power flow to the load is controlled by varying (adjusting) the
trigger angle . So, it is also called as RMS Voltage controllers.
