Abstract

The energy transition from the use of fossil fuels to the use of renewable sources is a necessity for all economies on the planet we inhabit. Every day, more thermal, moving and electrical energy is consumed, and greenhouse gases and electromagnetic emissions degrade survival. The only solution is to migrate to a modern electrical system as a complex interconnected network that efficiently generates, transmits and distributes electricity from various sources to consumers. It includes a combination of traditional power generation, such as steam and hydraulic turbines, along with emerging technologies, such as renewable energy sources, energy storage and advanced communication systems. Modern electrical systems also incorporate power electronics for efficient energy transfer and smart grid technologies for improved control and monitoring. In this paper, the authors hope that readers will be able to recognize the key aspects in just a few paragraphs and that those who wish to do so will have a guideline for further exploration.
