Watts next? Power Electronics and Sustainable Energy future
The vision of a planet run completely on clean, sustainable power is slowly but gradually becoming reality. From huge solar farms toasting in the desert sun to gigantic wind turbines tapping the hidden currents of the air, renewable power is transforming our global electric landscape. But it is not just about producing power; it's about creating the power usable, resilient, and efficient. This is where power electronics comes to the center – the sometimes unsuspecting hero fueling the sustainable energy revolution. Power electronics is to renewable energy what the steering wheel is to a race car—it doesn’t generate the speed, but without it, the car has no direction. https://en.tongwei.cn/blog/89.html The "Why": Power Electronics as an Enabler At its fundamental level, power electronics is the science of controlling and converting electrical power with semiconductor devices . It can be imagined as the advanced circuitry that intelligently controls the passage of electric...
