Distributed generation,also distributed energy,on-site generation (OSG),or district/decentralized energy,is electrical generation and storage performed by a variety of small,grid-connected or distribution system-connected devices referred to as distributed energy resources (DER).
Power electronics is the application of electronics to the control and conversion of electric power.
A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is an electric vehicle that uses a fuel cell,sometimes in combination with a small battery or supercapacitor,to power its onboard electric motor. Fuel cells in vehicles generate electricity generally using oxygen from the air and compressed hydrogen. Most fuel cell vehicles are classified as zero-emissions vehicles. As compared with internal combustion vehicles,hydrogen vehicles centralize pollutants at the site of the hydrogen production,where hydrogen is typically derived from reformed natural gas. Transporting and storing hydrogen may also create pollutants. Fuel cells have been used in various kinds of vehicles including forklifts,especially in indoor applications where their clean emissions are important to air quality,and in space applications. Fuel cells are being developed and tested in trucks,buses,boats,ships,motorcycles and bicycles,among other kinds of vehicles.
A variable-frequency drive is a type of AC motor drive that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the input electricity. Depending on its topology,it controls the associated voltage or current variation.

Space vector modulation (SVM) is an algorithm for the control of pulse-width modulation (PWM),invented by Gerhard Pfaff,Alois Weschta,and Albert Wick in 1982. It is used for the creation of alternating current (AC) waveforms;most commonly to drive 3 phase AC powered motors at varying speeds from DC using multiple class-D amplifiers. There are variations of SVM that result in different quality and computational requirements. One active area of development is in the reduction of total harmonic distortion (THD) created by the rapid switching inherent to these algorithms.
