What Is POWER ELECTRONICS ?
DEFINITION :
Power Electronics combine :
Power
static and rotating power
equipment for generation, transmission and
distribution of electric power
Electronics
solid state devices and
circuit for signal processing to meet the
desired control objectives
Control
steady state and dynamic
characteristics of closed-loop system
Power Electronics : the applications of
solid-state electronics for the control and
conversion of electric power.
What Is INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS ?
Industrial electronics can be defined as the control
of industrial machinery and processes through the
use of electronic circuits and systems

Relationship of PE to power, electronics and control
Task of Power Electronics :
To convert or to process and control the flow of
electric power by supplying voltages and currents in
a form that is optimally suited for user loads

Power Electronics (PE) Systems
The goal of PE is to control the flow of energy from an
electrical source to an electrical load with :
- high efficiency
- high availability
- high reliability
- small size
- light (least) weight
- low cost
Static applications
Involves non-rotating or moving mechanical components.
Examples :
DC Power supply, un-interruptible power supply, power generation and
transmission (HVDC), electroplating, welding, heating, cooling, electronic
ballast.
Power Electronics (PE) Systems
Drive applications
- Intimately contains moving or rotating
components such as motors
- Examples :
Electric trains, electric vehicles, air
conditioning system, pumps, compressor,
conveyer belt (factory automation).
Static Application : DC Power Supply
Drive Application : Air-Conditioning System
• Supply
from TNB: 50Hz, 240V RMS
(340V peak). Customer need DC
voltage for welding purpose, say.
example
• TNB sine-wave supply gives zero DC
component!
• We can use simple half-wave rectifier.
A fixed DC voltage is now obtained.
This is a simple PE system.
Average output voltage :
Vo 
Vm

How if customer wants variable DC voltage?
More complex circuit using SCR is required.
Average output voltage :
By controlling the firing angle α, the output DC voltage (after
conversion) can be varied.
Obviously this needs a complicated electronic
system to set the firing current pulses for the SCR.
PE rapid growth due to:
 Advances in power (semiconductor) switches
 Advances in microelectronics (DSP,VLSI,
microprocessor/microcontroller, ASIC)
 New ideas in control algorithms
 Demand for new applications
Interdisciplinary
1. Energy scenario

Need to reduce dependence on fossil fuel: coal, natural
gas, oil, and nuclear power resource.
Depletion of these sources is expected.
 Tap renewable energy resources :
solar, wind, fuel-cell, ocean-wave
 Energy saving by PE applications. Examples :
- variable speed compressor air-conditioning system :
30% saving compared to thermostat-controlled system.
- Lighting using electronics ballast boost efficiency of
fluorescent lamp by 20%.
Current issues
2. Environtment issues
 Nuclear safety : nuclear plant remain radioactive for
thousands of years.
 Burning of fossil fuel
- Emits gases such as SO2, CO (oil burning), SO2, NOx
(coal burning), etc
- Create global warming (green house effect), acid rain
and urban pollution from smokes.
 Possible Solution by application of PE. Examples:
- Renewable energy resources
- Centralization of power stations to remote non-urban
area (mitigation)
- Electric vehicles

Power Semiconductor devices
(Power Switches)
Power switches:
work-horses of PE
systems.
Power switch
Operates in two states :
– Fully on. i.e.
switch closed.
– Conducting state
– Fully off , i.e.
switch opened.
– Blocking state
Switch ON (fully closed)
Power switch never operates in linear mode.
Switch OFF (fully opened)
Can be categorised into three groups:
– Uncontrolled: Diode :
– Semi-controlled: Thyristor (SCR).
– Fully controlled: Power transistors: e.g. BJT,
MOSFET, IGBT, GTO, IGCT
