Introduction to Power Electronic Converters 💡
Power electronic converters constitute a family of electrical circuits designed to transform electrical energy from one voltage/current/frequency level to another, employing semiconductor-based electronic switches. These circuits are distinguished by switches operating in either fully ON or fully OFF states, unlike linear active region control in other electrical circuits.
As the power electronics industry advances, various converter families emerge, interconnected by power level, switching devices, and topological origins. The modulation process, transitioning electronic devices within a power electronic converter between states, has been a focal point of international research for over 30 years.
Each converter family adopts preferred modulation strategies aimed at optimizing circuit operation for specific criteria. Parameters like switching frequency, distortion, losses, harmonic generation, and response speed are pivotal considerations in developing modulation strategies tailored to each converter family.
