Power electronics devices are solid-state devices or transistors capable of modulating or converting electrical power. A power electronic device enables the production of power management modules that can handle all of the electric power control and conversion functions required to move power from the generating and storage sources to the ultimate loads. Electric energy will play an increasingly important role in future energy system because of its controllability, safety, and high efficiency. Power electronics devices will be used at every point at which electric energy is converted to or from another type of energy.
