A major technology for energy conservation and high functional energy use is power electronics. For switching operation, a power semiconductor device is an essential part of power electronics systems. Almost every device and system depend in one way or another on power electronics such as high-performance lighting systems, motor controllers, and a variety of industrial controls. The conversion and control for the utilization of power generated from energy sources can be performed using a power electronic converter system. The design of a suitable controller is essential for the efficient and controlled conversion of electrical power.
