Abstract

The global electrical energy consumption is still rising and there is a demand to double the power capacity within 20 years. The production, distribution and use of energy should be as technological efficient as possible and incentives to save energy at the end-user should also be set up. Deregulation of energy has in the past lowered the investment in larger power plants, which means the need for new electrical power sources may be very high in the near future. Two major technologies will play important roles to solve the future problems. One is to change the electrical power production sources from the conventional, fossil (and short term) based energy sources to renewable energy resources. Another is to use high efficient power electronics in power generation, power transmission/distribution and end-user application. This paper discuss some of the most emerging renewable energy sources, wind energy and photovoltaics, which by means of power electronics are changing from being minor energy sources to be acting as important power sources in the energy system.

International Journal of Engineering Research and, 2015

The global electrical energy consumption is steadily rising and consequently there is a demand to increase the power generation capacity. Deregulation of energy has in the past lowered the investment in large power plants, which means the need for new electrical power sources may be very high in the near future. Two major technologies will play important roles to solve the future problems. One is to change the electrical power production sources from the conventional, fossil (and short term) based energy sources to renewable energy resources. Another is to use high efficient power electronics in transmission, power transmission/distribution, and end-user application. The PE plays a vital role in the Grid integration. Therefore, PE based converters are also widely used in renewable energy systems. The specification of a power electronic interface is subject to requirements related not only to the renewable energy source itself but also to its effects on the power-system operation.

Power Electronics, a Key Technology for Energy Efficiency and Renewables
Peter Steimer

2008 IEEE Energy 2030 Conference, 2008

Power Electronics will play a key role in this paradigm shift to more renewable electrical energy and higher energy efficiency in multiple applications including transportation. In electrical energy generation a major shift to renewables as sources of future electrical energy will happen. The political institutions worldwide have the responsibility to create the boundary conditions to accelerate this needed change. Renewables (Wind, Solar, ..) are important future contributors and solar power (photovoltaic or thermal) needs to be taken serious. In regards of energy efficiency we need to focus on efficient bulk power generation including the mandatory use of waste heat for district heating or process industries. This all will ask for a substantial expansion and modernization of the electrical distribution and transmission system with more MVDC and HVDC systems. In industrial processes efficiency improvements can be achieved with a major focus on pump and fan applications. Another 30% of inefficient pump and fan applications need to be converted to variable speed drives to get an average of 40% energy saving in these applications. In regards of transportation up to 30-50% fuel / energy consumption reduction can be achieved with the DC-link based power system to enable efficient hybrid and in the longer term pure electrical solutions in transportation.

Power electronics-Key technology for renewable energy systems-Status and future
Yongheng Yang

2013

The electrical energy consumption continues to grow and more applications are based on electricity. We can expect that more 60 % of all energy consumption will be converted and used as electricity. Therefore, it is a demand that production, distribution and use of electrical energy are done as efficient as possible. Further, the emerging climate changes is arguing to find sustainable future solutions. Of many options, two major technologies will play important roles to solve parts of those future problems. One is to change the electrical power production from conventional, fossil based energy sources to renewable energy sources. Another is to use high efficient power electronics in power generation, power transmission/distribution and end-user application. This paper discuss trends of the most emerging renewable energy sources, wind energy and photovoltaics, which by means of power electronics are changing and challenging the future electrical infrastructure but also contributes steadily more to non-carbon based electricity production.

Power Electronics in Renewable Energy Systems
Remus Teodorescu

2006

The global electrical energy consumption is still rising and there is a steady demand to increase the power capacity. It is expected that it has to be doubled within 20 years. The production, distribution and use of the energy should be as technological efficient as possible and incentives to save energy at the end-user should also be set up. Deregulation of energy has lowered the investment in larger power plants, which means the need for new electrical power sources may be very high in the near future. Two major technologies will play important roles to solve the future problems. One is to change the electrical power production sources from the conventional, fossil (and short term) based energy sources to renewable energy resources. An other is to use high efficient power electronics in power generation, power transmission/distribution and end-user application. This paper discuss some of the most emerging renewable energy sources, wind energy and photovoltaic, which by means of power electronics are changing from being minor energy sources to be acting as important power sources in the energy system
