TLDR
In this paper, the authors classified the electrical energy conversion by power electronic systems into four categories: 1. Voltage conversion and power conversion for both direct current (DC) and alternate current (AC) 2. Frequency conversion 3. Wave-shape conversion 4. Polyphase conversionAbstract:

Lifetime estimation for hybrid HVDC breakers
TL;DR: In this article, the lifetime of a hybrid high-voltage direct current (HVDC) breaker is estimated based on the equivalent thermal network, the static temperature profiles of the breaker components during normal operation are solved for using an iterative method, and the components' transient temperature profiles during short-circuit faults are computed using an infinitesimal method.
