Excerpt

In a competitive market, technical systems rely on automation and process control to improve their productivity. Initially, these productivity gains were focused on attaining higher production volumes or less (human) labor-intensive processes to save costs. Today, attention is paid towards energy efficiency because of a global awareness of climate change and, above all, questions related to increasing energy prices, as well as security of energy and increasing urbanization. Consequently, it is expected that the trend towards more electrical systems will continue and accelerate over the next decades. As a result, the need to efficiently process electrical energy will dramatically increase. …
