LNG is a type of hydrocarbon, mainly methane that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. It is non-toxic, odorless, non-corrosive, and colorless. LNG becomes flammable after vaporization into a gaseous state and can also cause unconsciousness. LNG achieves a higher reduction in volume that makes it cost efficient to transport over long distances, where pipelines do not exist. LNG has a relatively high cost of production and has to be stored in expensive cryogenic tanks. It is a clean, low carbon, and efficient source of energy for various end-user segments.
Power electronics is the usage of solid state electronics for the control and conversion of electrical energy. Most of the electronic systems are concerned with the transmission and processing of data and signals. These power electronic devices have high power efficiency and high blocking voltage as well as the ability to work on low power. The typical power electronic devices that can be found in many instruments are AC/DC converters, which are used in application such as televisions, computers, and battery chargers.
