In the present trend, it is expected that future wars in the world will be fought on the economic front rather than on the military front. In the global marketplace, free from trade barriers, all the nations in the world will face fierce industrial competitiveness for survival and prosperity of living standards. In such an environment, power electronics with motion control will play a dominant role in the 21st century.

According to the estimate of the Electric Power Research Institute, roughly 70% of electrical energy in India now flows through power electronics, which will eventually grow to 100%. In the 21st century, we expect to see the tremendous impact of power electronics not only in global industrialization and general energy systems, but also in energy saving, renewable energy systems, and electric/hybrid vehicles.

The smart or intelligent grid of tomorrow will extensively use state-of-the-art power electronics, computers, and communication technologies and will permit optimum resource utilization, economical electricity to customers, higher energy efficiency, higher reliability, and improved system security. It has been estimated that the widespread efficiency improvement by power electronics and other methods with the existing technologies can save 20% of the global energy demand, and another 20% can be saved by preventing waste.

As mentioned before, renewable energy resources, such as hydro, wind, solar, biofuels, geothermal, wave, and tidal powers, are environmentally clean and abundant in nature and therefore are getting tremendous emphasis all over the world. all the energy needs of the world. Another study by UN IPCC reports that 50% of the total world energy can be met by renewable resources by 2050. After the recent nuclear accident in Japan, both Japan and Germany (Germany will exit from nuclear power by 2022) are planning to heavily emphasize renewable energy. The wind and solar resources, which are heavily dependent on power electronics for conversion and control.

Power electronics-based load-proportional speed control of air conditioner/heat pump can save energy by up to 20%. It has been estimated that around 20% of grid energy in India is consumed in lighting. Currently, the emerging solid-state LED lamps consume 50% less energy than CFLs and have a five times longer life. Another important role of power electronics, which is getting strong emphasis recently, is energy saving. In addition, reduced consumption means the reduced generation that indirectly mitigates environmental pollution and climate change problems.
