What does the discipline of power electronics study?
The first-level discipline of electrical engineering includes five second-level disciplines: electrical and electrical appliances, power system and automation, high voltage and insulation technology, power electronics and electrical transmission, and electrical theory and new technology. Power electronics technology is an electronic technology applied to the power field, that is, the technology that uses power electronic devices (such as thyristors, GTOs, IGBTs, etc.) to convert and control electrical energy.
At present, power electronics is the second-level discipline with the most diversified employment and the best treatment in electrical majors. Power electronics is widely used in various fields such as industry, transportation, power systems, new energy systems, computer systems, communication systems and household appliances, such as special power supplies in aerospace vehicles, remote UHV voltage transmission systems, household air conditioners, refrigerators and computer power supplies, all of which are inseparable from power electronics and power transmission technology.
