Abstract:
This paper elucidates the pivotal role played by power electronics in catalyzing the ongoing transformation of California's energy landscape towards sustainability through renewable sources. As California intensifies its efforts to combat climate change and foster energy resilience, the integration of renewable energy technologies becomes paramount. Through a comprehensive analysis, this study unveils the indispensable functions of power electronics in enabling the efficient generation, transmission, and utilization of renewable energy resources. By exploring key renewable energy systems such as solar, wind, and hydro power, and their intricate interactions with power electronics, this research underscores their collective impact on the state's energy transition. Insights garnered from this examination not only shed light on the technical intricacies of renewable energy integration but also inform strategic decision-making for policymakers, utilities, and stakeholders vested in California's sustainable energy future.
