In recent years, the world has been paying more and more attention to the power electronics converter in the power system. The power electronics converter has made great development in its own structure and control strategy, but there are still concerns of significant energy consumption and insufficient energy saving in many fields of application, the purpose of this paper is to let researchers grasp the current situation of the power electronics converter research and advance the development of the industry. Firstly, we review and evaluate some relevant methods that can evaluate the energy consumption of power electronic converters and introduce several cases of improving the topology in order to achieve energy saving. Afterwards, we introduce and summarize the development and application of power electronic converters in specific scenarios. The review and discussion presented in this paper concludes with some limitations and concerns in the current development of power electronics converters.
