Power electronics represents a branch of electronics dedicated to the controlled conversion of electrical energy. This conversion includes adaptation of power to diverse applications such as voltage or current power sources, electrical drives, active filtering in power systems, distributed generation and smart grid, electrochemical processes, inductive heating, lighting and cooking control, distributed generation, and naval or automotive electronics. This very broad range of applications has stimulated research and development, and new control methods of power hardware are suggested each day. The medium- and high-power converter systems require multidisciplinary knowledge of basic power electronics, digital control and hardware, sensors, ...
