Power electronics technology is an emerging electronic technology used in the power field. It is a technology that uses power electronic devices (such as thyristors, GTO, IGBT, etc.) to convert and control electric energy. The "electricity" power converted by power electronics technology can be as large as hundreds of MW or even GW, or as small as several W or even less than 1W. Unlike information electronics technology, which is mainly used for information processing, power electronics technology is mainly used for power conversion.
