Increasing Demand for AI-based Power Electronics Fuels Asia Pacific Power Electronics Market
Technological giants worldwide are highly focused on research and development of new technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI) is positioned as one of the major next-gen software technologies in the power electronics market. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way power electronics operate, especially in controlling the power quality cycle. Incorporating AI into power electronics helps businesses to streamline operations and automate tasks. For instance, in November 2020, Eneryield AB created an AI-based predictive method to control a wide range of power electronics.AI-based power electronics are integrated with special machine-learning algorithms that allow huge amounts of data to be used to forecast the power quality over several cycles. AI allows power electronics to handle complex tasks such as signal measurement, power disturbance, and real-time monitoring. Further, power electronics use machine learning language-based components such as active power filters for monitoring the ongoing voltage and current signal attempts for predicting the power disturbance within a short time.
The machine learning algorithm provides appropriate time for power electronics to pre-process the monitored signal, compute the prediction, and provide the prediction to the compensation device-which can then inject the opposite harmonics and interharmonics signal to mitigate the disturbance actively. Significant benefits offered by AI-based power electronics encourage manufacturers to integrate AI in power electronics.
In addition, AI-based power electronics help both manufacturers and consumers to control the electricity supply in the devices. Increasing demand for AI-based power electronics encourages companies to partner with each other to use and develop advanced solutions. For instance, in December 2023, Unipower AB announced a collaboration with Eneryield AB to develop AI-based power electronics for power grid applications.
This collaboration helps Unipower AB use Eneryield AB's machine learning-based surveillance module in the power grids. The machine learning-based surveillance module helps Unipower AB predict faults in power grids, which can lead to better grid stability and supply security. Thus, the increasing demand for AI-based power electronics is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the power electronics market players during the forecast period.
