The law of conservation of energy, as we know, states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can change its form from one to another. We can see countless examples in real life where this law is upheld, such as dams, vehicles, etc. But when we speak about energy usage, another term is used called Power. A popular misconception among people today is that the terms power and energy can be used interchangeably, which is not true. Energy is the total amount of work done, while power is how fast the work is done. In simpler terms, power is energy per unit time. Just like energy, power can be converted from one form to another. This process in which electrical energy is converted from one form to another is known as power conversion, and the device used for this purpose is called a power converter.
Being an electrical or electro-mechanical device, a power converter can be as simple as a transformer or a far more complex system. It can convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) and vice versa, change the voltage and frequency of the current, or a combination of these two processes. The main purpose of a power converter is to convert the electrical energy to a form which is optimally suited for the user loads.
Initially, energy was converted in electromechanical converters. These converters were basically rotating devices and were not as efficient. However, with the development of more sophisticated technology such as power semiconductors, static power converters have found applications in various fields. Unlike rotating power converters, static power converters are smaller and lighter, and they provide better static and dynamic performance.
An ideal static power converter is able to control the flow of power with 100% efficiency, which is not possible. There are always some factors which affect the efficiency of not just power converters but the whole system. Nevertheless, engineers strive to develop power converters with as high efficiency as possible. At Skill-Lync, we are trying to provide insights and guidance to design and develop modern converters with advanced controls.
