Power electronics is a branch from electronics that related to control and process of electric power that
done in electric way. Power electronic is convert electric power to electric power by controlling or
modifiying the shape of voltage or current with software. Scoop of area in power electronics are
electronics, electric circuit, control system electromagnetic, electric machine, electric power system,
semiconductor component, and computer.
Electronic system : The fundamental part of power electronics , electronic system will discuss
about electronic devices that consist of semiconductor and another component in electronic circuit. To
delve power electronic we need to comprehend about digital and analog electronic circuit.
Electric power system: one of main object of application of power electronic which device and
system have big power(voltage and current). So that to delve about power electronic we need to
comprehend about electric power system.
Control system: generally power electronic application will perform application in industry. So
that we need control system comprehension to understand devices in industry. For example electric
motor controller for adjusting rotation, electric motor for adjusting torque, electric motor controller for
adjusting oil and gas flow, adjusting temperature, adjusting pressure, adjusting speed of conveyor, etc.
Computer system: nowadays, this application mostly already integrated with computer system.
To do control in various devices in industry, it done with remote and the result could be monitored with
integrated desktop and database processed by computer.
Power conversion
Power Conversion
There are four types of power conversion or there are four different types of energy utilization, ie rectifier, DC
chopper, inverter, and AC-AC converter.
1. Rectifier: serves to rectify the electric current back and forth into direct current electricity.
2. DC Choper: also known as DC-DC converter. Electric current is changed in a direct current with different
quantities.
3. Inverter: ie converts direct current electricity into electric alternating current at adjustable voltage and frequency.
4. AC-AC Converter: that is to convert the electric energy of alternating current with certain voltage and frequency
to be alternating current with other voltage and frequency. There are two types of AC converters, namely AC
voltage regulator (voltage change, constant frequency) and cycloconverter (adjustable voltage and frequency).
a. Dioda
b. Transistor
c. Thyristor
Power Application
2. Control Dimer
Control that can be done using this method is limited to only one phase load. For larger loads,
control methods, then developed again using a three phase system, either half-wave or full-wave
(bridge circuit).
