Today, around 30% of all electrical energy generated is transported and distributed through power electronic converters. This proportion is expected to rise to 80% in the coming decades, which translates into an annual power-electronic energy conversion of at least 900 TWh in the EEA region. In addition, the energy sector and its current systems are in transition from fossil-based to zero-carbon emission systems. Modern smart grids and electromobility systems involve an increasing amount of dc technologies that have recently become possible due to rapid advancements in power electronic energy conversion systems. Consequently, Power Electronics is a key area to improve the efficiency of our energy systems, to allow a rapid energy transition, and to contribute to the global decarbonisation.
