Introduction to Low-potential Electrotechnical System of Power Efficient Conversion of Electrical Energy Using SMPS

Abstract

The negative impact generated from conventional energy sources has been continually increasing over the last century, and new types of energy sources must be found. All energy sources can be divided into two types: high-potential and low-potential. High-potential sources when the level of energy is higher than the level which customer has, and low-potential sources when the level of environment energy is lower than the level of customer energy. The energy level is temperature, pressure, an electric voltage value, etc. Environment has inexhaustible stocks of renewable low-potential energy such as heat, electromagnetic, gravitational energy etc. Energy extraction from low-potential environment demands much higher scientific knowledge and volume of research.
