Chapter 4: Power electronics for smart grids
Abstract
Power electronics is the application of electronic circuits in controlling and conversion of electrical energy. For example, in a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, DC power generated by the solar panels is first converted into AC using power electronics inverters to feed the grid and entertain the AC load. The power electronic converter needs a control circuit like a maximum power point tracking algorithm, fuzzy logic-based controller, neural network-based controller, and proportional integral derivative (PID) controller. Raw input is taken from any of the sources like solar PV, wind turbine, battery, fuel cell, utility, or any other source of AC or DC electricity, and is given to the ...
