Abstract
The fundamentals of power conversion, static power converters and power conversion applications are presented and discussed in this chapter. The need for integration of a short term energy storage device into a power conversion system is identified and selection of an appropriate energy storage device discussed. Ultra-capacitors and electrochemical batteries, as two major rivals are compared and the selection guide-line is given. Power conversion applications such as controlled electric drives, renewable sources (Wind, PV and Marine ?>current ?> generator), power generation and transmission devices (STATCOM), home appliances, mobile diesel electric gen-sets, UPS, earth moving machines and traction drives are applications that require integration of a short term energy storage into the system. These applications and the energy storage integration techniques are discussed intensively case by case. Benefits and advantages of having integrated energy storage are also discussed.
