| Abstract |
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. |
