RENEWABLE ENERGY
Renewable energy often referred to as clean energy, comes from natural sources or processes that are constantly replenished. For example, sunlight or wind keep shining and blowing, even if their availability depends on time and weather.While renewable energy is often thought of as a new technology, harnessing nature’s power has long been used for heating, transportation, lighting, and more. Wind has powered boats to sail the seas and windmills to grind grain. The sun has provided warmth during the day and helped kindle fires to last into the evening. But over the past 500 years or so, humans increasingly turned to cheaper, dirtier energy sources such as coal and fracked gas.
HYBRID ENERGY
Hybrid energy can offer a valuable means of supplying electricity to remote areas. Future success of these systems relies on the continuous research, development and demonstration of renewable energy technologies, featuring improved operating performance, cost reduction and improved reliability.
POWER ELECTRONICS APPLICATION IN POWER SYSTEM
Power electronics is the application of solid-state electronics for the control and conversion of electric power. It provides a basic knowledge of circuitry for the control and conversion of electrical power with high efficiency. The structure of Modern power systems have been separated in three different interlinked sections-generation, transmission and distribution likewise. Mostly the output of generator is always AC, but in some applications we need DC supply, where we get optimum utilization of efficient power with respect to applications example different types of sockets, connectors, switches, and fixtures.
