电力电子技术的二十年及其未来——思考走向信息时代的电力电子学

The Power Electronic Technics in Later 20 Years and Its Future Situation --The Considerations on the Power Electronics to Face the Informationizing Eon

本文是作者为中国电力电子学会成立 2 0周年而写的。作者综述了过去 2 0年的成就以后指出 :除了传统应用领域 (电解、电牵引、直流传动等 )和较晚成熟的领域 (交流传动、高压直流输电和无功补偿 )以外 ,还有信息产业、汽车电器和家用电器这三个最新应用领域。后者的重要性迅速上升 ,将成为未来应用领域中的热点。作者强调指出 ,以信息产业为代表的三个最新应用领域及其关键器件 (MOS电力电子器件为代表的新器件 )的发展 。

The paper was written for the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of National Power Electronic Society.The paper reviewed its outstanding development during these years and pointed out that the new fields including information electronic equipment,automobile electric systems and domestic apparatus are going to be new major pillars of power electronics applications in additions to the traditional applications(electrolysis,traction,dc drive etc.)and the later application(ac drive,high voltage dc transmission,reactive power compensation etc.)The paper pointed out that these three new applications,esp.information electronic equipments and MOS field effect devices used in it,will play more and more important role in future development of power electronic manufacture industry.
