It is a type of thyristor which operates as a unidirectional switch, handling large power levels efficiently. Since its introduction in the late 1950s, the silicon controlled rectifier has become indispensable in motor control, AC-DC conversion, and phase regulation. Hence the named. . r. The SCR has assumed paramount importance in electronics because it can be produced in versions to handle currents upto several thousand amperes. . The paper proposes the adaptation of the industrial plant's power network to supply electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging converters (above 300 kW) using renewable energy sources (RESs).
