POWER ELECTRONIC

 

Power electronics is the field of electrical engineering that deals with the conversion and control of electric power using solid-state semiconductor devices. It involves the study and application of electronic circuits for controlling the flow of electricity to efficiently convert, regulate, and condition it for various uses, such as in AC/DC converters, DC/DC converters, and AC/AC converters. This technology is crucial for applications ranging from home appliances to electric vehicle charging and industrial motor drives.  

Key aspects of power electronics

Power conversion: 
The primary function is to convert electrical power from one form to another. This includes: 
DC/DC converters: Changing a DC voltage to another DC voltage. 
AC/DC converters: Rectifiers that change AC to DC. 
DC/AC converters: Inverters that produce AC from DC. 
AC/AC converters: Changing the magnitude, frequency, or phase of AC power.
