Abstract
This is a preprint version of the manuscript submitted to IEEE on June
4, 2020.
This paper gives an overview of the Artificial Intelligence (AI)
applications for power electronic systems. The three distinctive
life-cycle phases, design, control, and maintenance are correlated with
one or more tasks to be addressed by AI, including optimization,
classification, regression, and data structure exploration. The
applications of four categories of AI are discussed, which are expert
system, fuzzy logic, metaheuristic method, and machine learning. More
than 500 publications have been reviewed to identify the common
understandings, practical implementation challenges, and research
opportunities in the application of AI for power electronics.
