Power Electronics
Power electronics circuits convert electric power from one form to another using electronic devices. Power electronics circuits function by using semiconductor devices as switches, thereby controlling or modifying a voltage or current. Applications of power electronics range from high-power conversion equipment such as dc power transmission to everyday appliances, such as cordless screwdrivers, power supplies for computers, cell phone chargers, and hybrid automobiles. Power electronics includes applications in which circuits process milliwatts or megawatts. Typical applications of power electronics include conversion of ac to dc, conversion of dc to ac, conversion of an unregulated dc voltage to a regulated dc voltage, and conversion of an ac power source from one amplitude and frequency to another amplitude and frequency.

Power Systems
A network of electrical components designed to supply, transfer, store and use the power is known as the Power system. An electric power system comprises of three areas: Generation system, Transmission system, and Distribution system. The generators supply the power. The transmitter transfers the power from the generated center to the load center. The distributors feed the power to homes and industries. Smaller power systems can be seen in hospitals, industries, and other residential area

Power Generation Technologies
The process of generating power from the first supply of energy for domestic use is Power Generation. In an electrical power business, the facility generation is that the opening of delivering the electricity to the users that is additional followed by transmission, distribution, storage and recovery. Electricity is generated exploitation Power plants. the facility may also be generated at an influence station by mechanical device generators, principally driven by heat engines operating with the assistance of fission, combustion, energy from the flowing water, geothermic power and photovoltaics.

Electric Power Transmission and Distribution
Transmission and distribution of electric power is meant its conveyance from the central station where it is generated to places, where it is demanded by the consumers like mills, factories, residential and commercial buildings, pumping stations etc.The power transmission is completed with the assistance of overhead lines and electrical grids. It may also be transmitted by wireless modes like magnetic attraction fields, radio waves and microwaves. The electricalpower distribution is that the ending. It collects the electricity from the transmission lines and distribute it to the customers. Primary distribution carries medium voltage power and provides to the close customers. For residential and business customers, the ability is distributed with the assistance of secondary distributors

Smart Grid Technologies
An “electricity grid” is not a single entity but an aggregate of multiple networks and multiple power generation companies with multiple operators employing varying levels of communication and coordination, most of which is manually controlled With this concept, the earlier power shortage has been to some extent equated and is able to control the transmission losses and improve the transmission efficiency to some extent. This contrasts with 60 percent efficiency for grids based on the latest technology which may be the solution for the above problem: SMARD GRID TECHNOLOGIES.

Renewable and Non- Renewable Energy Resources
The wind, the sun, and Earth are sources of renewable energy. These energy sources naturally renew, or replenish themselves.Wind, sunlight, and the Earth have energy that transforms in ways we can use.Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes—or even in many, many lifetimes. Most non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Carbon is the main element in fossil fuels.

Sustainability
The sustainable form of energy is energy which can be used over long period of time without any harmful effects on the human and environment and can be easily harnessed again and again without depletion. It is also known as the Renewable form of energy like solar energy, wind energy, hydropower and so on. According to the Energy Information Administration, in 2007, renewable sources of energy accounted for about 7% of total energy consumption and 9.4% of total electricity generation in the United States. Sustainable energy technologies could increase the global energy security, improve the environmental quality and promote the energy economy. These technologies help us out to produce electricity, transportation without any environmental impacts.

Fuel Cell and Combustion
Fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy. However, unlike batteries, with non-stop supply of fuels, fuel cell can run forever and produce steady supply of electrical energy. The two basic components used to run a fuel cell are hydrogen and oxygen. They react inside the fuel cell to generate electricity, heat and water. This new energy source will never be used up as we have unlimited supply of oxygen on Earth. Hydrogen can be produced from water, gasoline, natural gas, landfill gas, coalbased gas, methane, methanol and ethanol. A fuel cell uses an external supply of chemical energy and can run indefinitely, as long as it is supplied with a source of hydrogen and a source of oxygen (usually air). The source of hydrogen is generally referred to as the fuel and this gives the fuel cell its name, although there is no combustion involved. Oxidation of the hydrogen instead takes place electrochemically in a very efficient way. During oxidation, hydrogen atoms react with oxygen atoms to form water; in the process electrons are released and flow through an external circuit as an electric current.

Solar Energy and Wind Power
Every day, the sun radiates an enormous amount of energy—called solar energy. It radiates more energy in one day than the world uses in one year. This energy comes from within the sun itself.Like most stars, the sun is a big gas ball made up mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. The sun makes energy in its inner core in a process called nuclear fusion.Today, people use solar energy to heat buildings and water and to generate electricity.The air flow (Wind energy) through the turbines is converted into the electrical form of energy and it is a renewable form of energy. Air flow through the wind turbines is converted to the electrical energy using the power generators. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity.This energy is used for the electricity generations which either uses the warm surface water or boiling the sea water turning it to the turbine further activating the generator.
