M.E-. Power Electronics & Drives

INTRODUCTION

Power Electronics is the application of Electronic circuits in Energy Conversion.

Thanks to Power Electronics, the electricity needed to run the things you use everyday, is processed, filtered and delivered with maximum efficiency, but in the smallest size and minimal weight.

The advent of semiconductor devices with high switching frequency and improved voltage and current ratings make it possible to build more efficient power converters with high dynamic performance

Power Electronics involves design, analysis and control of power converters using more sophisticated micro electronic devices such as Microcontrollers and DSPs

Power Electronics is what you look for everywhere. For example, Power electronics is used in

* Computers
* Automobiles
* Telecommunications
* Space systems and Satellites
* Motors
* Lightings
* Alternative Sources of Energy like Solar and Wind
