by Ehab H.E. Bayoumi
International Journal of Industrial Electronics and Drives (IJIED), Vol. 3, No. 3, 2017

Abstract: Electrical energy consumption is increasing year by year progressively. The smart grid, unlike the current grid system, built on demand response and consumer-based power dissipation. Meantime, the needs for electricity are growing rapidly and will continue to accomplish faster than other energy sources over the next decades. Power electronics is the technology coupled with the competent conversion, control, and conditioning of electric energy from the source to the load. The power electronics community is generally aware of the large energy savings potential, therefore they focus on several key application areas, where the energy savings potential is the largest, such as: building and lighting, power supplies, vehicle to grid and industrial drives. In this review paper, the power electronics roles are specified, illustrated and introduced in smart grid consumption energy systems.
