Lecture 1: Introduction
Basic Function of Power Electronics and Electrical Machines?
Process electrical energy
Electricity is a very
medium for transporting energy
Must
that electricity before and after transporting it
i.e. Adjust
level (and possibly frequency)
Energy is typically generated and consumed in a non-electrical state
(often mechanical energy)
Has to be converted to and from electricity
This process is
in modern society
Things we can do with electrical energy
Transmit (very good for this purpose)
Process (electrical to electrical)
Store (Poor for this purpose)
Convert to/from other forms (mechanical, light, heatetc.)

Photovoltaic Electricity Converters (solar cells)
Electrical Energy Storage
Done directly with
and
This impractical for long periods of time
Typically done using other energy types, that are readily converted to
electricity
