Growth in Power Demand

The electronics industry has undergone growth over the past century, that no one ever thought. However, COVID 19 is a new challenge for which it has never faced. COVID-19 has changed the world. It has a significant impact on almost everything and everyone, as well as the power industry - as well as the wider electronics industry as a whole. This is not due to the uncertainty that exists due to the high potency of COVID-19 and the unpredictable reactions of the government and industry, many of which have stopped working for this period. Due to COVID-19 transportation sector is seriously affected and the most affected part of it is the aviation industry. As the aviation sector is completely in standstill, the related service in all airports is also stopped. So far the question for electronics manufacturers is that many are expecting shipments delays of five or more weeks due to shipping delays from China or other countries where manufacturers are already having the most negative impact ...

The presence of energy has converted the course of humanity in the last centuries. They have not only released new energy sources - the first fossil fuel accompanied by nuclear diversification, hydropower and other renewable technologies - but also in the amount we can produce and consume. This article is focused on the amount of energy generated and power consumed. Also how these trends are changing with time and country. Energy Generation Fig. 1: Global Electricity Generation Electricity generation has been steadily increasing over the years. Fig. 1 shows us that China, the United States and India are the major electricity producing countries. We can observe that the electricity generation decreased a bit in 2020. This was due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic. We will talk more about it in the next article. Fig. 2 gives us the complete overview of the world electricity generation. Africa and Latin America have plenty of room for improvement. Fig. 2: Country-wise Electricity Generatio...

  The inventions mentioned in the previous article didn't just happen, there was a need for such devices by other technologies. One such was the invention of the Motor. Running Motor on fuels was harmful for the environment and Electric Motors in their early days were not as efficient as they are now. The success behind the Electric Motor was only possible due to Power Electronics which reduced Power loss significantly. Power electronics made it possible for efficiently controlling the speed of Motor. Today every industry whether it is an automobile or some manufacturing, where they use electric motors, power electronics is always required. Storing of energy in Batteries or Superconducting Storage require power electronics for conversion and manipulation of different electrical parameters. Power Devices are available in the market to work at a few small (kWs) to very large levels (hundreds of MWs). With the emergence of Electric Vehicles, need for batteries has increased which lead...

Introduction Power electronics or Power engineering can be considered as an underestimated field of engineering, and thus may not be as popular as other forms like VLSI, Embedded but in reality it is not. It also has a great importance in the world since its beginning. For systems or devices which work on more than one phase, Power Electronics plays an important role there. Power Electronics comprises components which work in  conversion, control, and conditioning of electric power. They manipulate the primary characteristics of electric power like conversion from AC to DC or vice versa, altering voltage and current levels, changing the operating frequency or power factor according to the needs.  Power Electronics helps in regulating the nonelectrical parameters like the intensity of lighting, the speed of a motor, the rate of an electrochemical process, or the temperature of an oven. Its applications can be found everywhere and have significant impact on global industry....
