Electric power is used in almost every aspect 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 exactly about
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.
