Renewable energy systems play an important role in solving major problems such as global warming and the energy crisis. These include different sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermic and biogas. However, since the production of these sources is often variable, it is not possible to connect them directly to electrical systems. Therefore, power electronics plays an important role to ensure the effective utilization of renewable energy systems.
Power electronics is a technology used to incorporate electrical energy generated from the generation sources used in renewable energy systems. For example, in solar panel systems, inverters that convert solar energy into electrical energy are power electronics tools. Likewise, generators that convert wind energy into electrical energy in wind turbines are also power electronics tools.
Power electronics are also integrated with energy storage systems, another important tool used to incorporate electrical energy generated from renewable energy systems. These systems ensure that the generated energy is stored at times when it can be used to power the system. For example, in solar panel systems, the energy storage system uses the stored energy to be incorporated into the system when there is no sunlight.
As a result, power electronics enables us to use the electrical energy generated from renewable energy systems more effectively by integrating it into the system and integrating it with energy storage systems. In this way, we can take an important step towards reducing the problems of global warming and the energy crisis. At the same time, electricity generated by renewable energy systems contributes positively to our economy by reducing energy costs.
