Introduction
Power Electronics is the study of
electronic circuits used to convert
and control the flow of electrical
power.
Power Electronics deals with the
applications of solid state electronic
devices in the control and conversion
of electric power.

Power Electronics embraces the studies of: (a) Power:It deals with both rotating and static equipment for the generation,
transmission, distribution and utilization of vast quantities of
electrical power.
(b) Electronics:It deals with the study of semiconductor devices and circuits for
the processing of information at lower power levels.
(c) Control:In deals with the stability and response characteristics of closed
loop system . Power Electronics deals with the use of electronics
for control and conversion of large amount of electrical power

Introduction.
Single Phase Rectifier
8

In half wave rectification of a

single-phase supply, either the
positive or negative half of the
AC wave is passed, while the
other half is blocked.
Half-wave rectification requires
a single diode in a single-phase
supply.

A full-wave rectifier converts the

whole of the input waveform to one
of constant polarity (positive or
negative) at its output.
Two diodes and a center tapped
transformer, or four diodes in a
bridge configuration and any AC
source (including a transformer
without center tap), are needed.

APPLICATIONS
1. Virtually all electronic devices
require DC, so rectifiers are used
inside the power supplies of
virtually all electronic equipment.
2. Rectifiers are also used for
detection of amplitude modulated
radio signals.
3. Rectifiers are used to supply
polarized voltage for welding.
12

INVERTER
A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic
device or circuitry that changes direct current
(DC) to alternating current (AC)
A power inverter can be entirely electronic or may
be a combination of mechanical effects (such as a
rotary apparatus) and electronic circuitry.

13

TYPES OF INVERTERS

There are THREE different types of power

inverters:
1. Modified sine wave
2. Pure (true) sine wave inverters.
3. Solar Inverter
. The difference between the two types is how
close the output power replicates standard AC
mains power.

14

 A pure (or true) sine wave inverter is far

more complex than a modified sine wave
inverter and as a result is more expensive
item to purchase.
Modified sine wave power inverters are
more common due to the fact that most
electric appliances do not require a true
sine wave power source.
True sine wave inverters are reserved for
use on medical equipment and other
sensitive electrical applications, such as
sound/audio equipment.
15

SOLAR INVERTER
Solar inverters are among the type of inverters for
home that are energy efficient as they do not
require a separate source for generating power.
Some basic types of solar inverters are:
1. Stand-alone inverters
2. Battery back-up inverters
3. Grid tie inverters

DC TO DC CONVERTER
INTRODUCTION
A DC-to-DC converter is an electronic circuit
which converts a source of direct current (DC)
from one voltage level to another.
The types of dc-dc converters are the ones with
isolation and the ones without isolation

18

TYPES

The main types of converters

are:
1. Buck
2. Boost
3. Buck-Boost
. T hese all dc to dc converters
are without isolations.
19

APPLICATIONS
1. DC to DC converters are important in portable
electronic devices such as cellular phones and
laptop computers which are supplied with power
from batteries primarily.
2. Switched DC to DC converters offer a method to
increase voltage from a partially lowered battery
voltage thereby saving space instead of using
multiple batteries to accomplish the same thing.
3. Most DC to DC converters also regulate the
output voltage. Some exceptions include highefficiency LED power sources, which are a kind of
DC to DC converter that regulates the current
through the LEDs, and simple charge pumps
which double or triple the output voltage.
20

AC TO AC CONVERTER
introduction
A solid-state AC-AC converter
converts an AC waveform to
another AC waveform, where the
output voltage and frequency can
be set arbitrarily.
21

AC-AC converters can be categorized as

follows:
Indirect AC-AC (or AC-DC-AC) converters
(i.e., with rectifier, DC link and inverter)
Cycloconverters
Hybrid matrix converters
Matrix converters (MC).

22

Future innovations
Many small lightweight DC/DC converters for military,
civil aviation and other applications requiring greater
reliability, combine technical features such as high power
density, hybrid thick film technology, hermetic package,
full military temperature range, multiple input and
output voltage ranges, built-in front end EMI filter and
power ratings up to 120W. The devices withstand input
surges and transients and meet environmental
specifications for temperature extremes, shock,
vibration, altitude, salt spray, fog and other key
parameters.

 FRONIUS AGILO(INVERTER)
The first central inverter that can be installed and
maintained by a trained installer.
The Fronius Agilo convinces with easy transport, easy
installation and easy maintenance.
In the 75 kW and 100 kW power categories, this will be
the ideal solution for industrial and commercial
photovoltaic systems

24

 2.FRONIUS GALVO (INVERTER)

With power categories ranging from 1.5 to 3.1 kW, the
Fronius Galvo will be perfect for households and will be
especially suitable for self-consumption systems.
Other smart features make the Fronius Galvo one of the
most future-proof inverters in its class: for example, the
integrated data logging, and the simple connection to
the internet by WLAN.
Low weight (16.8 kg) and compact size.
