Power Electronics Technology

Abstract

This chapter gives a description and an overview of power electronics technology. It introduces in block diagram form the typical power conversion categories used in power electronics technology and a classification of power semiconductor devices. A wide variety of power electronics applications is presented, including industrial motor drives, energy storage systems, renewable energy sources, VAR compensators, high-voltage direct current transmission systems, and flexible alternating current transmission systems. The I–V characteristics of the power semiconductor devices that are used to implement power converters are also presented in a table form.
