The Application Of Power Electronics In Industry

At a time when fossil fuels are becoming scarce and ecological awareness is promoting clean and renewable energies, power electronics is once again on the forefront. The power electronics industry is forced to produce more converters, with increased performance and lower cost. These performances are in the direction of better performance and increased power density. Applications require operations of environments considered severe in ambient temperature, vibration, and chemical aggression, but always indiscretion. Power electronics is one of the branches of electrical engineering, it relates to devices or converters that can change the shape of electrical energy. Since the eighties, it has found many applications, from the improvement of the characteristics of networks supporting heavy industries (SVC - Static VAR Compensator) like aluminum factories, to FACTS (Flexible Alternative Current Transmission Systems). For network stability and HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) syste
