Smart grid is currently developing towards informatization and automation, and introduction of power electronic technology will provide necessary guaranty for the normal operation of smart grid. This research firstly presented an overview of smart grid, then it introduced the features of smart grid as well as research contents and development direction of power electronic technology. Meanwhile, it also described the roles of power electronic technology in smart grid and discussed the applications of power electronic technology in smart grid. Through the introduction of this research, the important roles of power electronic technology in smart grid could be perceived; however, power electronic technology still has some deficiencies, which need to be further improved.
