Power Electronics Concept
 Power Electronics may be defined as the application of
solid state electronics for control and conversion of
electric power.
 The interrelationship of power electronics with power,
electronics and control is shown in Fig. 1.1.

control
History of Power Electronics
 The history of power electronics began with the introduction of the mercury arc rectifier in
1900(Vacuum-tube rectifier ). These devices used until 1950.
 The first electronics revolution began in 1948 with the invention of the silicon transistor at Bell
Telephone Laboratory by Bardeen, Brittian and Schotckley. In 1956 silicon control rectifier(SCR) was
made in the same Lab.
 The second electronics revolution began in 1958 with the development of the commercial thyristor by
the General Electric Company.
 The power electronics revolution has gained nomination since the late 1980s and early 1990s.
 A chronological history of power Electronics is shown in Fig.1.2.

Types of Power Electronics Circuits

The power Electronics can be classified into six types:


1- Diode Rectifiers
2- AC to DC Converters (Controlled Rectifiers)
3- AC to AC Converters ( AC Voltage Controllers)
4- DC to DC Converters ( DC Choppers)
5- DC to AC Converters (Inverters)
6- Static Switches

Design of Power Electronics Equipment

The design of power electronics equipment can


be divided into four types:
1- Design of power circuits
2- Protection of power devices
3- Determination of the control strategy
4- Design of logic and gating signals.
Power Semiconductors Devices

A superpower device should:


1- has a zero on state voltage
2- withstand an infinite of state voltage.
3- handle an infinite current
4- turn on and off in zero time
