Power electronics circuits convert electric power from one form to another using
electronic devices. Power electronics circuits function by using semiconductor
devices as switches, thereby controlling or modifying a voltage or current.
8
Power electronics includes applications in which circuits process milli-watts or megawatts.
9
The design of power conversion equipment includes many disciplines from electrical engineering.
10
Advances in semiconductor switching capability
combined with the desire to improve the
efficiency and performance of electrical devices
have made power electronics an important and
fast-growing area in electrical engineering.
11
The history of power electronics began with the introduction of the mercury arc rectifier in 1900.
Then the metal tank rectifier, grid-controlled vacuum-tube rectifier, ignitron and thyratron were
introduced gradually. These devices were applied for power control until the 1950s.
The first electronics revolution began in 1948 with the invention of the silicon. Most of today’s
advanced electronic technologies are traceable to that invention. Modern microelectronics
evolved over the years from silicon semiconductors.
12
The next breakthrough, in 1956, the invention of the PNPN triggering
transistor, which was defined as a thyristor or silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR).
The second electronics revolution began in 1958 with the development of the commercial
thyristor by the General Electric Company. That was the beginning of a new era of power
electronics. Since then, many different types of power semiconductor devices and
conversion techniques have been introduced. 13
The microelectronics revolution gave us the ability to process a huge amount of
information at incredible speed. The power electronics revolution is giving us the
ability to shape and control large amounts of power with ever-increasing efficiency.
14
With the increasing energy demands around the world, there is a new era of
renewable energy. Power electronics is an integral part of renewable energy
for its transmission, distribution, and storage.
15
It is the beginning of the third revolution of power electronics in
renewable energy processing and energy savings around the world. It is
expected to continue for another 30 years.
