  • Abstract
    Power electronics technologies have been widely used in renewable energy systems. These energy resources require certain type of power electronic technology to make them in useful formats either through "rotational" or "stationary" power conversions. Most renewable energy resources tend to be geographical dependent and clustered in certain areas due to availability of natural resources. This article shows the different types of energy resources and the application of power electronics in different energy resources.
