This paper demonstrates the application of the SABER analogue and digital simulator and the MAST modelling language in the domain of power system simulation. A behavioural switch model of the thyristor is presented. Great attention is paid to the modelling and the simulation of the firing circuits and control loops. Using the simulation of a large (9.7 MW) and complex power converter, it is demonstrated how the SABER simulator and its modelling capabilities effectively answer the needs of power converter modelling and simulation in the power and control domain. Comparison with results obtained on actual power converters is given. The possibility to simulate a complete power system (digital and analogue parts) with simulation time in the order of minutes is a break-through in the power system simulation domain.
