  3. The interdisciplinary nature

  4. Relation with multiple disciplines Power electronics is currently the most active discipline in electric power engineering.

  5. History of Power Electronics • Mercury arc rectifier (year 1900). • Metal tank rectifier. • Grid controlled vacuum tube rectifier. • Ignitron, Phanatron, Thyratron • SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) - The 1st Thyristor developed by Bell labs in 1956. 1st Commercial grade SCR developed by “ General Electric Co. “ in 1958. 5

  6. 2. The history The thread of the power electronics history is the break- through and evolution of power electronic devices. 返回

  7. Semiconductor rectifier Mercury arc rectifier 1. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

  8. Thyristor (SCR), GTO, Triac Thyratron 1. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

  9. Power MOSFET, IGBT Vacuum tube 1. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT

  10. Industrial applications • Motor drives • Electrolysis • Electroplating • Induction heating • Welding • Arc furnaces and ovens • Lighting

  11. Transportation applications • Trains & locomotives • Subways • Trolley buses • Magnetic levitation • Electric vehicles • Automotive electronics • Ship power systems • Aircraft power systems

  12. Utilitysystems applications • High- voltage dc transmission (HVDC) • Flexible ac transmission (FACTS) • Static VAR compensation & harmonics • Custom power & power quality control • Supplemental energy sources : • wind, photovoltaic, fuel cells • Energy storage systems. • Fuel cells. • Energy storage systems • Boiler feed water systems.

  13. Power supplies for electronic equipment • Telecommunications • Computers • Office equipment • Electronic instruments • Portable or mobile electronics

  14. Residential and home appliances • Lighting • Heating • Air conditioning • Refrigeration & freezers • Cooking • Cleaning • Entertaining

  15. Applications in space technology • Spaceship power systems • Satellite power systems • Space vehicle power systems

  16. Other applications • Nuclear reactor control • Power systems for particle accelerators • Environmental engineering

  17. Advantages • Easy and flexibility in operation due to digital controls. • Faster dynamic response compared to the electro mechanical converters. • Lower acoustic noise when compared to electro magnetic controllers, relays and contactors. 17

  18. High efficiency due to low losses in the Thyristors. • Long life and reduced/minimal maintenance due to the absence of mechanical wear. • Control equipments using Thyristors are compact in size. 18

  19. Disadvantages • Generate unwanted harmonics. • Harmonics are injected into power supply lines affecting the performance of other loads and equipments. • Unwanted interference with communication circuits due to electromagnetic radiation. 19

  20. Special protection circuits must be used to protect the thyristor devices. • Thyristors must be rated for maximum loading conditions. • Special steps are to be taken for correcting line supply power factor. 20

  21. Major issues in power electronics • How to meet the requirement of the load or gain better control of the load • How to improve the efficiency • To have reliable operation of power semiconductor devices • To have energy saving • How to realize power conversion with less volume, less weight, and less cost. • How to reduce negative influence to other equipment in the electric power system and to the electromagnetic environment.

  22. Power Devices • Power Diode • Power BJT • Power MOSFET • IGBT • Thyristor (SCR) 22
