Power Electronics
• Power Electronics combines power, electronic and
control.
• It may be defined as the application of solid-state
electronics for the control and conversion of electric
power.
• The power conversion should be efficient, clean,
compact and robust for energy utilization to meet
the desire requirements.
• Power electronics, primarily based on the switching
behavior of the power semiconductor devices.
• The development in power electronics field,
increases the power and switching capabilities of the
switching devices.
Power Electronic
• The developments in the microprocessors or
microcomputer have improved the control strategy
for the controlled switching devices.
• The power semiconductor devices may be regarded
as muscles and microprocessors as brain.
Applications of Power Electronics
• No modern society exist without power electronic.
• It is extensively employed in machine drives, heat
control, power suppliers, renewable generation
system, power transmission and distribution
systems.
• For more detail see Table 1.1 of the text book.
Types of Power Electronics Circuits
• The power electronic circuits process power
according to the requirements and they may be
classified into following six types.
1. Diode (Uncontrolled) Rectifiers.
2. Thyristor (Controlled) Rectifiers.
3. DC-to-DC converters (DC choppers).
4. DC-to-AC Converters (Inverters).
5. AC-to-AC Converters ( AC voltage and frequency
Controllers).
6. Static Switches.
Diode (Uncontrolled) Rectifiers
• They convert ac power to DC but output is
uncontrollable.
