Lecture 1

Introduction

[Shendi University- Abusabah I. A. Ahmed] 5


Introduction
❑ Power Electronics: is the electronics applied for the conversion and
control of electric power.
❑ Range of power scale : milliwatts (mW) to Megawatts(MW) gigawatts
(GW).
❑ A more exact explanation: The primary task of power electronics is to
process and control the flow of electric energy by supplying voltages
and currents in a form that is optimally suited for user loads.
❑ Power electronics is a growing field due to the improvement in switching
technologies and the need for more and more efficient switching circuits

Brief History of Power Electronics
❑ The first Power Electronic Device developed was the Mercury Arc Rectifier during the
year 1900.
❑ Then the other Power devices like metal tank rectifier, grid controlled vacuum tube
rectifier, ignitron, phanotron, thyratron and magnetic amplifier, were developed & used
gradually for power control applications until 1950.
❑ The first SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) or Thyristor was invented and developed
by Bell Lab’s in 1956 which was the first PNPN triggering transistor.
❑ The second electronic revolution began in the year 1958 with the development of the
commercial grade Thyristor by the General Electric Company (GE). Thus the new era
of power electronics was born. After that many different types of power semiconductor
devices & power conversion techniques have been introduced.
❑ The power electronics revolution is giving us the ability to convert, shape and control
large amounts of power

Features of Power Electronic Devices
❑ The electric power that power electronic device deals with is usually
much larger than that the information electronic device does.
❑ Usually working in switching states to reduce power losses
On-state Voltage across the device is 0 𝑃 =𝑉∗𝐼 =0 𝑉=0
Off-state Current across the device is 0 𝑃 =𝑉∗𝐼 =0 𝐼=0

❑ Need to be controlled by information electronic circuits.


❑ Very often, drive circuits are necessary to interface between information
circuits and power circuits.
❑ Dissipated power loss usually larger than information electronic devices
special packaging and heat sink are necessary.
