There has been a need for energy exchange between dc and ac systems since the dawn of the electricity grid. The rectifier, a general term for ac to dc conversion, was served originally with an ac motor driving a dc generator. The rectifying diode is a device that conducts asymmetrically based on polarity and also can support ac–dc conversion. The basic form of the diode rectifier circuit was discussed in the nineteenth century, and it is interesting that rectifier diodes were discovered during the 1880s [5].
