PROGRAM OVERVIEW

<p style="text-align: justify;">Description </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; It controls the flow of electrical energy by switching electronic circuits is what power electronics is all about. It is the technology that is behind the concept of power converters, power inverters, motor drives, switching power supplies etc. The first high power electronic devices were mercury-arc valves. In modern systems, the conversion is performed with semiconductor switching devices such as diodes, thyristors and transistors, pioneered by R. D. Middle brook and others beginning in the 1950s. This was a type of electrical rectifier that was used for converting high Alternating current into Direct Current. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Today power electronic uses components like diodes, GTO's and transistors etc. In power electronics, a substantial amount of electronic energy is processed. The most common type is an AC/DC converter that is used in most of our daily electronic devices like Computers, Battery Chargers, and Television Set etc. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Power electronics is one of the core subjects for an electrical engineer.
