Power Electronics

Power Electronics is a branch of Electrical Engineering which deals with power conversion from one from to another form using Inductors, Capacitors, Semiconductor devices (Diode, Thyristor, MOSFET, IGBT etc.). The power may be from mW(point on load applications) to MW(Power Systems).


Energy Conversion can take place in any form. The basic conversions are

AC - AC (Cycloconverters)
DC - DC (Converters)
DC - AC (Inverters)
AC - DC (Rectifiers)


The app is a complete free handbook of Power Electronics which covers important topics, notes, materials & news on the course. Download the App as a reference material & digital book for Material science, electrical engineering & electronic engineering programs & degree courses.


In short Power Electronics is present everywhere in electrical from mobile chargers to battery chargers, from transmission & distribution control to renewable energy storage and control. Power Electronics is also major part of the Battery Management System(BMS) and used for Electric Hybrid Vehicles(EHV).
