Power Electronics and Electrical Engineering - Arya Colleg

 

What Is Power Electronics?

Power Electronics mean converting electric energy from one form to another form, the output after the conversion is far better, efficient, error-free, clean, compact, and simple to use.

The study of power electronics and electric motors involved in the processing of electric power for a variety of uses. It will provide a wide range of electricity which can be a few watts to megawatts. Like various computers with disk drives, fans with different speeds, lamps with different lightning, an electric vehicle with different modes, electric drives, etc.

The field of power electronics is really huge and vast, every hour we use 12 billion KW of electricity which is more than 80% of generated current, some part of this converted, processed, or recycled. When we convert the current in different ways, at that time we are losing more of the part of this. estimated power consumption in a desktop sold in one year, which is equal to the 17 power plants of 500 MW.

Why Do We Need To Improve The Power Efficiency Of The Power System

When we convert the current in different ways, at that time we are losing more of the part of this. estimated power consumption in a desktop sold in one year, which is equal to the 17 power plants of 500 MW. that’s why we need to improve the efficiency of the power system.

According to calculation if we make power conversion more efficient then we can save 35% of energy in our daily uses.

That’s what Arya College Jaipur offers to learn about power and energy systems, it is greatly significant to students.

We can’t assemble the uses of electricity in a list. The electricity is used in approximately each and every sector. The electric devices are easily available in the market due to the easy manufacturing process, that's why these are easily available in the market for everyone to use. In the end, it can be summarized in the words that, the day is not far when all of the electrical energy in the world will pass through power electronic systems.
