Question: What are power electronic devices?
Answer: Fast switches that can handle high voltages and
currents
Question: Why do we need these fast switches?
Answer: To efficiently convert AC to DC, DC to DC, or
DC to AC, or to efficiently control average power flow. Introduction
A switch Rugged, reliable, efficient, long lived, but not very fast Introduction
The ideal power electronic device is a perfect switch that
is fast − can open and close instantly (thus no switching losses), and at a high rate (i.e., operating frequency)
when closed, can conduct any amount of current with no internal voltage drop (thus no conduction losses)
when open, will conduct no current and can withstand any voltage without breakdown
will be unidirectional or asymmetric (that is an inherent property of power
electronic devices, and we can always place two switches in anti-parallel and use blocking diodes to prevent backward conduction) Introduction Introduction Introduction
• Some power conversion circuits can operate in
different modes, depending on circuit and control parameters.
• Power conversion can be a multistep process
involving more than one type of converter. Introduction Introduction
