Abstract :
Reviews the requirements of power electronics applications in electric utilities, transportation, aerospace, heavy industry and commercial electrical appliances for the new millennium. In particular, material and device technologies on silicon and wide band-gap semiconductors are discussed, along with switching circuits and topologies. Component- and system-level simulation, modeling and CAD requirements are evaluated. System-level optimization is essential in order to develop robust power systems at affordable cost
