1) Definition
Power Electronics:
is the electronics applied to conversion and control of
electric power.
Range of power scale :
Power
milliwatts(mW)
megawatts(MW)
gigawatts(GW)
A more exact explanation:
The primary task of power electronics is to process and
control the flow of electric energy by supplying voltages
and currents in a form that is optimally suited for user
loads.

4) Position and significance
in the human society
Electric power is used in almost every aspect and
everywhere of modern human society.
Power
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.

Trends
It is estimated that in developed countries now 60%
of the electric energy goes through some kind of
power electronics converters before it is finally used.
Power
Power electronics has been making major
contributions to:
--better performance of power supplies and better control of
electric equipment
--energy saving
--environment protection
reduction of energy consumption leads to less pollution
reduction of pollution produced by power converters
direct applications to environment protection technology
