This document provides an introduction to the field of power electronics. It lists several reference books and IEEE journals on the topic. Power electronics involves the efficient conversion, conditioning, and control of electric power using solid-state devices to supply high quality power to loads. It has revolutionized many areas due to its ability to intelligently control and condition electric power. The course will cover the multidisciplinary nature of power electronics and provide examples of its applications through the use of software like MATLAB and PSIM.

4. Introduction
 We now live in a truly global society. In the highly automated industrial
front with economic competitiveness of nations, in future two
technologies will dominate:
Computer and Power Electronics- the former providing intelligence as
to-“what to do” and the latter- “the means to do it”
 Modern Computers, communication and electronics system get their
life blood from power electronics.
 Solid state electronics brought in the first electronics revolutions,
whereas solid-state power electronics brought in the second
electronics revolution.

5. Goal of Power Electronics
“Efficient conversion, conditioning, processing and control of electric
power using solid-state semiconductor devices in order to supply high
quality power to the load.”
