Newell’s description 1.3 与相关学科的关系 电力电子学 (Power Electronics)名称60年代出现。 1974年，美国的W. Newell用图1的倒三角形对电力电子学进行了描述，被全世界普遍接受。 1.3 与相关学科的关系 1.3 与相关学科的关系 1.3 与相关学科的关系 Relation with multiple disciplines Power electronics is currently the most active discipline in electric power engineering. Position and significance in the human society Electric power is used in almost every part and everywhere of modern human society. Electric power is the major form of energy source used in modern human society. The objective of power electronics is right on how to use electric power, and how to use it effectively and efficiently, and how to improve the quality and utilization of electric power. Power electronics and information electronics make two poles of modern technology and human society: information electronics is the brain,and power electronics is the muscle. The history The thread of the power electronics history is the break-through and evolution of power electronic devices 2 电力电子技术的发展史 Applications Industrial Transportation Utility systems Power supplies for all kinds of electronic equipment Residential and home appliances Space technology Other applications Industrial applications Motor drives Electrolysis Electroplating Induction heating Welding Arc furnaces and ovens Lighting Transportat
