NEW TRENDS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING By Mehvish Manzoor

NEW TRENDS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

The Electrical Engineering sector has been growing at a rapid pace with human friendly innovations, inventions and technology trends. Electrical engineering branch is the mother branch for all modern development. It is a very interesting engineering domain. It is the mother branch to many other branches such as Electronics and instrumentation, communication, etc. It is the only engineering domain which has applications in both heavy and light engineering fields in today’s generation.

Electrical engineers are at the forefront of some of today’s most important innovations whether working for the private sector, government sectors or major research institutes electrical engineers are always pushing the boundaries of the possible. Recently they have contributed to huge strides in energy efficiency, mobile technology, accessibility, transportation, telecommunication and much more.

THE NEW TRENDS IN THIS FIELD ARE:

Industrial automation used for production process and control in manufacturing and packaging industries, automotive electronics, etc. The other recent trends are biomedical instrumentation which deals with the modern medical apparatus and instruments used in hospitals. Due to high speed trains, it is becoming a very important branch in railway sectors where three phase AC traction is dominating gradually.

SOME NEW IDEAS IN THIS FIELD ARE:

1.HIGH EFFICENY PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS:

One of the enduring challenges of modern electrical engineering is to find an implementation of photovoltaic technology that is efficient, effective under varying operating conditions and highly resistant to damage while not being cost- prohibitive. Different engineering approaches have been used to raise collection and distribution efficiency, though perovskite based cells have recently captured the most attention at major research facilities.

 

2.GREEN ENERGY ELECTRICAL POWER CONVERTER:

A new power converter developed in the department of electrical engineering at the university of Arkanes will now make it easier for users of renewable energy to shunt excess energy into the power grid. This has the  potential to make roof top solar initiatives much easier and further incentivize homeowners to pursue efficient technology.

3. GRAPHENE:

As electrical engineers reach the performance constraints caused by the fundamental properties of matter, advances in material science becomes essential. Graphene is perhaps the most important recent innovation. Graphene consists of a single layer of carbon atoms one million times thinner than paper. It is so thin that it is actually considered two dimensional (2D).

4. 40gb-wi-fi:

The maximum speed of internet connectivity, whether wired or wireless, has always been defined by foundational challenges in electrical engineering-semiconductor size and composition, for example. Each advance in speed represents a fundamental shift in engineering processes, whether from applying novel materials new transmission media, or other technology.

Electrical engineering is one of the interesting and amazing branch which deals with the technology of electricity. Some of the most prominent pioneers in electrical engineering include THOMAS EDISON (electric light bulb), GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE (alternating current), NIKOLA TESLA (induction motor) and GUGLIELMO MACRONI (radio).

The newly ideas and trends in this field not only revolutionized the world but also makes our life comfortable, easier and faster.
