“…New-generation power electronic devices can and should be improved in terms of their environmental footprint and their compatibility with the circular economy, i.e., to apply in their design a new type of design called "Eco-design" or "Circularity Design." Therefore, in [47] a roadmap for the transition to a circulareconomy-compatible power electronics is proposed by incorporating environmental compatibility assessment into the multi-objective optimization process applied in design. Ultimately, the addition of an environmental condition allows the optimal balance of design trade-offs to be achieved.…”

Power electronics plays a key role in the management and conversion of electrical energy in a variety of applications, including the use of renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydrogen energy, as well as in electric vehicles, industrial technologies, homes and smart grids. These technologies are essential for the successful implementation of the green transition, as they help reduce carbon emissions and promote the production and consumption of cleaner and more sustainable energy. The present work presents a new generation of power electronic devices and systems, which includes the following main aspects: advances in semiconductor technologies, such as the use of silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN); nanomaterials for the realization of magnetic components; using a modular principle to construct power electronic devices; applying artificial intelligence techniques to device lifecycle design; and the environmental aspects of design. The new materials allow the devices to operate at higher voltages, temperatures and frequencies, making them ideal for high-power applications and high-frequency operation. In addition, the development of integrated and modular power electronic systems that combine energy management, diagnostics and communication capabilities contributes to the more intelligent and efficient management of energy resources. This includes integration with the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) for automated task solving and work optimization.

Net zero energy is a conceit of energy self-sufficiency that is based on minimal demand of thermal power supply and more usage of local renewable energy resources. A net zero energy military installation is defined as: ― A military installation that produces as much energy on-site from renewable energy generation or through the on-site use of renewable fuels, as it consumes in its buildings, facilities, and fleet vehicles. This study entails the green energy audit of the buildings of Indian Army aiming to identify opportunities for improving the energy efficiency of the campus and to facilitate the nation building with sustainable development. The reduction of the energy consumption while maintaining the human safety, health and comfort are of the primary importance. There is now a universal recognition of the fact that new technologies and much greater use of some that already exist provide the most hopeful prospects for the future. The opportunities lie in the use of existing renewable energy technologies, greater efforts at energy efficiency and the dissemination of these technologies and options. Achieving energy efficiency leads to net zero emission of carbon i.e., reducing the carbon footprint in the buildings and invariably reduces dependency on electricity produced by fossil fuels.
