Ideal PE System
To convert electrical energy from one form to another, i.e. from the source to load with:
– highest efficiency,– highest availability– highest reliability– lowest cost,– smallest size– least weight.

Inductors and Capacitors in PE
Inductor: V = L di/dt
• The current in an inductor cannot change instantaneously!
Capacitor: i = C dV/dt
• The voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantaneously!
These passive components are fundamental to the operation of all power electronics.

The Practical Switch
1. Limited power handling capabilities, limited conduction current in the on-state, and limited blocking voltage in the off-state.
2. Limited switching speed caused by the finite turn-on and turn-off times. This limits the maximum operating frequency of the device.
3. Finite on-state and off-state resistances, that is, forward voltage drop exists when in the on-state, and reverse current flow (leakage) exists when in the off-state.
4. Because of characteristics 2 and 3, the practical switch experiences power losses in the on- and off-states (known as conduction loss), and during switching transitions (known as switching loss).

Losses in Power ElectronicsIn semiconductor components:
• Switching losses
• Conduction losses
In passive components (C & L):
• Effective series resistance
Typical efficiencies are in the range of 90-99% for each conversion stage, depending on the exact converter topology.

Power switch losses
• Why it is important to consider losses of power switches?– to ensure that the system operates reliably under
prescribed ambient conditions, – so that heat removal mechanism (e.g. heat sink,
radiators, coolant) can be specified. Losses in switches affects the system efficiency
– Heat sinks and other heat removal systems are costly and bulky. Can be substantial cost of the total system.
– If a power switch is not cooled to its specified junction temperature, the full power capability of the switch cannot be realized.
Main losses:– forward conduction losses,– blocking state losses– switching losses
