Abstract

Extensive researches are being performed on clean energy generation and integration into the power systems due to environmental friendliness and decreasing fossil resources. Innovative methods in clean energy generation and power electronics based integration into the power grids are rapidly becoming attractive. There are many applications to integrate clean energy resources to existing utility grid or microgrid or isolated load. These applica- tions require advanced control for which power electronics & drives plays an important role. The increased efficiency of power semiconductors devices and robustness of machines enable to improve many types of power conversion. On the other hand, alternate energy vehicles and energy storage systems are widely integrated with clean energy sources.
