Power Electronics and Electronic Devices
Used in everything from everyday electronic devices to high-voltage transmission systems, power electronics, such as switches, inverters and controllers, allow electric power to be precisely and rapidly controlled. Thus, power electronics play an important role in ensuring a reliable and efficient energy supply and in incorporating renewable energy sources into the energy system.
In recent years, power electronics have pervaded the renewable energy sector; including wind turbine systems, fuel cell systems and photo-voltaic power generation.
The main focus within the development of power electronics is efficiency and minimizing losses in connection with the transmission and processing of electrical energy.
