Global IGBT & Thyristor Market: Overview
Power has become an important component in daily life. We cannot expect life without power. The absence of power will create disastrous consequence in human life. The transmission system is loaded with different limits and power trading with varied load pattern may cause blockage in urban cities. The insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) & thyristor provide the advantage over metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) for minimum switching time and switching losses. In addition, it also provides the advantage over elevated breakdown voltage and less conduction losses of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) in order to meet current power need. FACTS systems and HVDC use power electronic converters for power conversion and control power quality. Earlier, IGBTs and thyristors were used as key components in HVDC and FACTS converters for many years and now have been developed for higher power use. These devices also use high breakdown voltage and conduction losses in BJT to fulfill current power requirement. For example, New technology Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor (IGCT) overcomes all drawbacks of the GTO thyristor and the IGBT; it makes all essential development in order to provide a reliable power device that can easily work in medium voltage applications.
