Some Applications of Power Electronics :
Typically used in systems requiring efficient control and conversion of
electric energy:
Domestic and Commercial Applications
Industrial Applications
Telecommunications
Transportation
Generation, Transmission and Distribution of electrical energy

Power rating of < 1 W (portable equipment)


Tens or hundreds Watts (Power supplies for computers /office equipment)

• About 50% of electrical energy used for drives

• Can be either used for fixed speed or variable speed


• 75% - constant speed, 25% variable speed (expanding)

• Variable speed drives typically used PEC to supply the motors

Example on VSD application

Electric motor consumes more than half of electrical energy in the US

Fixed speed Variable speed

Improvements in energy utilization in electric motors give large


impact to the overall energy consumption

HOW ?
Replacing fixed speed drives with variable speed drives
Using the high efficiency motors

Improves the existing power converter–based drive systems


Modern Electrical Drive Systems 17
Overview of AC and DC drives

DC drives: Electrical drives that use DC motors as the prime mover


Regular maintenance, heavy, expensive, speed limit
Easy control, decouple control of torque and flux

AC drives: Electrical drives that use AC motors as the prime mover


Less maintenance, light, less expensive, high speed

Coupling between torque and flux – variable spatial angle


between rotor and stator flux
Modern Electrical Drive Systems 18
Overview of AC and DC drives

Before semiconductor devices were introduced (<1950)


• AC motors for fixed speed applications
• DC motors for variable speed applications

After semiconductor devices were introduced (1960s)


• Variable frequency sources available – AC motors in variable
speed applications
• Coupling between flux and torque control
• Application limited to medium performance applications –
fans, blowers, compressors – scalar control

• High performance applications dominated by DC motors –


tractions, elevators, servos, etc
Modern Electrical Drive Systems 19
Overview of AC and DC drives

After vector control drives were introduced (1980s)


• AC motors used in high performance applications – elevators,
tractions, servos
• AC motors favorable than DC motors – however control is
complex hence expensive
• Cost of microprocessor/semiconductors decreasing –predicted
30 years ago AC motors would take over DC motors
