Usage of Power Electronics Growing in Smart Grids

Apart from the consumer electronics sector, the growing automotive sector is an important power electronics market driver. In conventional vehicles, power electronics applications include the interfaces between the engine–alternator and the battery and between the battery and the lights, horns, wipers, starter motors, and infotainment and advanced driver assistance (ADAS) systems. Electric vehicles use power electronics in even higher capacities, as they control the electricity coming from the charging station into the battery and that leaving the battery for the primary traction motor. Similarly, in vehicles that operate at higher voltage and current ratings, more-powerful power electronics are needed. For instance, the majority of the three-phase electric locomotives being manufactured by Indian Railways, including WAP-5, WAP-7, WAG-9, and WAG-12, consist of thyristor converters and IGBTs. Moreover, these devices are being integrated into even the newer diesel locomotives being manuf...
