Abstract

This chapter reviews fundamentals pertaining to power electronics. The concept of power electronic conversion is first introduced which is followed by a short discussion on various types of power electronic switches and different types of power electronic converters (PECs). The PEC can be a one-stage dc/ac three-phase converter (or inverter). The amount of power extracted from the PV panels is commonly controlled through controlling the PV panels’ voltage. Power electronics technology offers an efficient and convenient platform for converting a form of power to another and control its flow in addition to addressing power quality aspects (on both sides) and achieving additional services. It is thus much needed for various power engineering applications including the DER integration. The chapter concludes by reviewing diverse applications of power electronics in power industry.
