Features: Power electronics technology is a field that studies the application of power semiconductor switching devices to achieve the conversion and control of electrical energy, also known as power electronics technology. It has four types of electrical energy conversion methods: AC→DC, DC→AC, AC→AC, and CD→DC. The innovation of power electronics technology has become one of the most fiercely competitive battlegrounds in industrial automation control and electromechanical integration fields worldwide, with developed countries investing heavily in human resources, materials, and financial resources for research and development. Power electronics technology has evolved alongside the continuous development and improvement of various advanced power electronic devices. In 1958, General Electric CG Company in the United States developed the first industrial-grade ordinary thyristor, marking the birth of power electronics. This book covers both traditional and new technologies in power electronics. Traditional technologies include: rectification technology, active inversion technology, passive inversion technology, AC-AC frequency conversion technology, chopper technology, and voltage regulation technology, etc. New technologies include: power factor correction, PWM rectification technology, and power quality compensation devices, etc. This book can serve as a teaching material or self-study reference for students and teachers in universities and vocational colleges, as well as a reference for relevant technical personnel.
