Preamble:
The importance of power electronics has grown over the years due
to several factors. Two of these are the advent of smart power devices and the
increasing global concerns about the effects of environmental pollution. Smart
power devices are expected to become ubiquitous and revolutionized the way
power is handled. Electric vehicle is currently looked upon as a promising
solution to curb urban pollution. Also, to avoid the pollution due to setting
up of new power generating stations, power electronics has been called upon to
ensure better utilisation of existing capacity. This has resulted in research
into active p ower factor correction, harmonic compensation etc., assuming
great significance.
