European Center for Power Electronics website (http:://ecpe.org) has been formed in 2003. Vision statement says that
The aim is to boost Europe´s innovative strength and its leading role in future key areas such as energy production, energy distribution, the use of energy and - covering all of these - energy conservation, thereby extending Europe´s competitiveness with respect to North America and Asia.
has a document which says that share of electrical energy controlled by power electronics is 40% in 2000 and will reach to 80% by 2015. Power electronics is the key technonlogy which controls the flow of electricity from source to load.
Advanced power electronics can save over 50% of lossed in converting from mains/battery to that used in equipments.
For example lighting consumes 21% of electrical energy and a better electronic control can save over 25% of energy used in lighting using a small uController.
