Learn Power Electronics and its Applications

Power electronics is the branch of electrical engineering that deals with the processing of high voltages and currents to deliver power that supports a variety of needs. Power electronics is a multidisciplinary branch of electrical engineering. It focuses on processing, controlling, and converting electric power. Power electronic systems are used in a variety of applications, such as Power Generation, Power Transmission, Power Distribution and Power Control. In all these applications, the input voltages and currents are switched using power semiconductor devices to provide desired outputs. The construction of basic semiconductor devices such as diodes, FETs, and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are altered to withstand high voltages and currents. As a result, we have silicon-controlled thyristors (SCRs), power diodes, power metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), power BJTs, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), gate turn-off thyristors (GTOs), and so on.

The basic functions of importance for power electronics are (1) power conversion, ac to dc, dc to ac, ac to ac, (2) power conditioning to remove distortion, harmonics, voltage dips and overvoltages, (3) high speed and/or frequent control of electrical parameters such as currents, voltage impedance, and phase angle
